A very poor family had a servant who worked from early morning to late at night for room and board and the, at that time, customary 20 Swiss Rappen (like cents). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The servant went to church weekly. Therefore, he kept 5 Rappen to donate on Sunday. He always reflected huge gratefulness, because God gave him what he needed to live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hundreds of years later, we discuss the new poverty and outrageous salaries at the same time. The servant understood a lot about God\u2019s principles of the heavenly riches. Our prosperity and insatiable greed have taken our desperately required, healthy sense for relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus pointed out a window who couldn\u2019t give a lot in donations to his disciples: \u201cShe has given more than everyone else. They only gave something from their wealth. She gave what she truly needed to sustain herself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, \u201cTruly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.<\/p>Mark 12:43<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
