Is this a Spider-man quote? Well, it's found in the bible too- Luke 12:48 b. "Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more."
The following information really hit our hearts when we consider the needs of those around us in this world whose living conditions are drastically different than our own. Take a look:
If you keep food in a refrigerator, your clothes in a closet, have a bed to sleep in, and a roof over your head, you are richer than 75% of the entire world population.
If you make more than $10,066 a year, you are one of the richest 16% of people on the earth.
Is your net worth more than $61,000? You are one of the 10% richest people on the planet.
Did you know that almost half the world struggles to live on less than $2 a day?
1 Billion people are trying to survive on less than $1 a day.
When you add up all your life's expenses, how much money do you spend each day?
It has been estimated that it would cost $13 billion to provide basic nutrition for every starving person in the world.
In the United States we spend approximately...
$3 billion a year on bottled water
$4 billion a year on cosmetics
$7 billion a year on sporting events
$11 billion a year on coffee
$13 billion a year on our pets
$20 billion a year on soft drinks
$76 billion a year on home renovations
$105 billion a year on eating out
Today there are over one billion people hurting for simple basic resources at the very same time that we in the U.S. happen to have more of those exact resources than any group of Christians in history!
How might God want to use us in great ways?
Change the life of a child in need by sponsoring a child through organizations like Compassion or World Vision or Samaritan's Purse These organizations will provide food, medical care, education, and hope to a child which extends to helping the entire family.
Help us by praying for our adoption journey and by financially donating. This helps us reach our goals to complete our adoption processes and changes the lives of two precious children from Ethiopia! Thank you and the children will thank you in their hearts when they are in the arms of their forever family!! Donate using the button on our blog home page or if you personally know us, let us know you'd like to help by e-mailing us or face book message. Thank you!!!
