First-World Problems

My wife and I have been wringing our hands over some major decisions we have been making lately.  I will discuss the details in another post.  But one thing really struck me during prayers yesterday morning.

Almost all our problems are First-world problems.  We worry about what house to buy, or what car, or where to go to college.  First-world issues!

Why?

Because many of our Christian brothers and sisters in the world worry about:
1) Where will we sleep tongith?
2) Where can we find food?
3) How will I keep my children ALIVE?

These are serious problems, and make my issues look shameful.  No really, shameful!

How about your problems today?  First-world?
