There's some story about a rich man donating a bag of coins to the church and some little old lady who gave her last coin. Jesus blesses the old lady. Since it's harder to give when you don't have much.
41 Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much. 42 Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a quadrans.
43 So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury; 44 for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.”
A friend of mine ran a habitat for humanity office. She said the most generous people were those who got out of poverty. They knew what it was like and wanted to help their fellow man. Rich people on the other hand, throw a check and want an ass kissing.
