Lessons of frugality are never misleading but are lessons on how to live in manners that pays which are well done.
"Or suppose a woman has ten silver soils and loses one. Does she not light a a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds she calls her friends and neighbors together and says "Rejoice with me, I have found my lost coin.. In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presenxe of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.." --Luke 15: 8-10 KJV "
