Charles Wagner, in “The Gospel of Life,” points a conclusion worth
considering:
In finance, a figure is a figure. Two equal numbers have the
same value, and a hundred dollars are twice fifty and twenty
times as much as five dollars. But when intentions are involved,
it is another matter; then the value of the figures depends no
longer upon their size. This is what Jesus causes us to observe.
Beware of neglecting the little pennies; there are pennies that
are poems, there are pennies that have a soul.
