Parsimonious is the operative word.
A word that means to be penny pinching.
Remember how Scrooge was always a miser?
Save what you must be also be a person who freely gives.
In the story he saw the errors of his ways and repented.
Many people are really parsimonious today with the things they have.
Only to a greater degree than Ebenezer.
Now comes the time of confessing what we do with what we have.
In all things we must give an account of how we used what was given.
Only you are the one to answer for yourself and no one else.
Uniquely proven is the philanthropist and his ability to give.
Simply because it is greater to give than to receive.
