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?
