Instead of trying to keep up with the Jones' we should be trying to keep up with Jesus. Our Standard of Living should be through our Standard of Giving, it is truly a blessing to give not only of our money but also our time and our tallents. "Sometimes you can become rich by being generous or poor by being greedy. Generosity will be rewarded: Give a cup of water, and you will receive a cup of water in return."
