Chris.
Hard workers may be able to give generously! We need to realize that God sometimes puts us in situations, as True Believers, where we have to work hard, even sometimes for long hours. In the modern World most people, not in Third World Nations, who work hard, receive appropriate reward for their work. This can be one of the ways that God gives Blessing, some of which can be passed on appropriately to those people who may need it.
