It seems that we're always wishing for something---a newer car, a bigger house, better clothes, etc. What we really need is an assessment of ourselves. Some of the happiest people have very little in the way of material things but they are far ahead in spirituality. God wants us to have the necessities to live a comfortable life but I doubt if He's too happy about the excesses that are running rampant in our current society. The people with 7 mansions, 6 Hummers, gold bathroom fixtures, etc. are no happier than we are. In fact, they're so busy chasing riches that they don't stop to appreciate their lives. So if you have a car that runs, a roof over your head, decent clothes on your back and food on your table, you have everything you need. Learn to appreciate the bird in the hand.
