"What is the American Dream?"

[Faithin1]

This is a very thought-provoking topic.  I believe the American Dream for most in this country is based on that which is superficial and monetary.  I will not pretend to have never desired wealth and worldly prosperity.  I thank the Lord He changed me and showed me what is truly important.  I now realize the most important aspects of life are intangible and priceless.   Family, love and health are much more important than material possessions. 

What good are millions if one's body is riddled with pain?  What good are millions in a life devoid of love of family and friends?  Most importantly, what good are millions without the love and the gift of salvation through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

As Pastor Rogers said....our riches are in heaven.  When I see a beautiful mansion, I may briefly experience desire.  Then, I think of what awaits me in heaven, and I realize there is nothing here on earth that could even remotely compare.

This topic brings to mind one of my favorite scriptures.

Psa 84:10
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

[Maryjane]

The American dream is not being in therapy for stess or depression....where the inner child is grown up..
