On Tuesday night, we finished our Book Study on Rick Warren's book, The Purpose Driven Life.
As I had stated when we started, the book has been re-released under the title, What On Earth Am I Here For?" and now includes two new chapters, one on envy, and one on people pleasing. Both are excellent chapters, and we spent a lot of time discussing both of them.
That was a rather long lead in to a fairly short video that I think really drives home the point... Notice when the boy with old, worn out shoes cries out, "It isn't fair, I wish I could be like him..."
We've all struggled with envy. But remember that we have no idea how much the other person has sacrificed to get what they have. Maybe we aren't willing to sacrifice that much...
