I believe you are right in that most Americans think they are entitled to happiness and that the happiness comes from, a family, house, job, and stuff bought with extra money. The reality is that the American dream is not entitlement to these things but the OPPORTUNITY to obtain goals and WORK towards something more than what you have in the FREEDOM that was established here. I believe the American dream is in line with scripture but many trade their freedom for a little comfort and security. I went to a conference where being a TRADER was the theme. Let us trade in this sense of entitlement that the American dream has become for what God has called us to that will make us truly happy.
