Check out the Global Rich list at http://www.globalrichlist.com/ to find out where how your income ranks compared to the rest of the world. In a country where we always want more, this is a quite humbling experiment.
I recently listened to a sermon by John Ortberg where he encouraged people start comparing ourselves to people who have less then we do, which is about 99% of people around the world, which will produce generosity rather than comparing ourselves to people who have more which only produces greed and covetousness. This is a practice that I'm working on implementing in my own life.

Saturday Service Day February 20
Join us for a day of serving in the community from 8:30am - 12:30pm. Everyone is welcome. We will be serving at Inspiration Ministries, a residence and camp for disabled adults. Here's how Inspiration Ministries describes itself:
We are a Christian-based residential community and respite care provider for adults with ability challenges. Our work center, resale shop, special events and volunteer opportunities give people with disabilities a chance to build friendships and serve the community.
We will be doing some cleaning on their facility. Sign up at the information table on Sunday or email Heather. We will meet at Clarendon Elementary at 8:30am to drive to Inspiration Ministries.
Give a Day Get a Disney Day
If you need an incentive for serving in the community Disney is giving free one day passes to a Disney Park when you volunteer for a day. You can visit Disney's website to learn more about this promotion. Here's what the site says:
We want to inspire one million people to volunteer a day of service to a participating organization in their communities. So we're celebrating these volunteers' good works by giving each of them a 1-day, 1-theme park ticket to the Disneyland® Resort or Walt Disney World® Resort, free. There's no better time to make a dream come true for others and let us make a few come true for you.
If you search under our zip code, 53149, there are already lots of serving opportunities listed in our area.
