After reading Genesis 36:7 I thought it was interesting that Jacob and Esau were so blessed that they weren't able to live near each other because they had accumulated too many possessions and the land could not sustain both Jacob's and Esau's livestock in the same location. They we so blessed that they couldn't receive another blessing; living near family. If they were poor they would have been able to live near each other and may have even been forced to share a home, but would have had the blessing of living the end of their lives together.
I think that sounds a lot like the United States and other wealthy nations; we're so blessed that we miss out on other blessings. We're so wealthy that we can buy or borrow anything and everything we need instead of waking up each day wondering if there will be food on the table or a place to sleep.
