Do you ever get tired of not having the money you think you deserve?  Ever see the guy down the street with a bigger house, newer truck, boat of your dreams, four wheeler, pool, land (the list could go on) and wish you had them also?  I know I certainly have.  I can remember not only wishing I had those things but thinking I deserved them.  Then I went to Africa and saw how the majority of the world lives.  For the first time in my life being asked if I ever went to bed hungry because there was no food.  Seeing lepers actually starving to death.  Seeing kids sleep under a tree because they have no home or parents.

Africa helped me realize just how fortunate I am.  Sometimes it takes a reality check to wake us up.  I am so scared the majority of Americans will continue thinking we deserve the best of everything without working for anything.

I saw this site and statistics on a friends blog the other day and couldn't help but share them also.  (Thanks Burl) 

According to http://www.globalrichlist.com/  I am in the top 1% which makes me one of the richest people in the world!!!  If you have been feeling poor, check this site out and it will make you feel quite rich!

If you don’t have time to check out the site, here are some quick facts we all need to look at:

$10,000 annual income = top 13%

$20,000 annual income = top 11%

$30,000 annual income = top 7%

$40,000 annual income = top 3%

$50,000 annual income = top 1%

Instead of always wanting more we need to take our eyes off more stuff and say thank you to our Father above for blessing this nation and us individually so greatly.
