Growing up Poor I did not realize until about the 5th grade‚ what being poor was all about. From kindergarten until then‚ kids didn’t really pay attention to what you wore to school‚ what type of home you lived in‚ or what your parents did for a living.

It started with a new school with both familiar and unfamiliar faces and with that‚ new challenges

Money and Possessions By Eric Lewis 02/02/2014 The Bible says a lot about money‚ wealth and riches. Jesus said‚ "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." (Mark 10:25). Jesus‚ already knows the human heart better than anyone .
