Paul starts bragging on some other churches to show the possibility of what can happen when people are generous. Not generous because they wanted to show off, and not even gerouse because they had a lot of extra money lying around. Paul says that these people were in extreme poverty and even through their rough trials they gave money. They were still thanking God for his grace. They understood that the little they had still came from God.
I wonder if we have this mindset. Sure we give on Sunday's, but do we really give as much as we can. We are collecting money on Wednesday nights to give to our adopted child in Tanzania. Right now we don't have enough to give him a Christmas present. Even if you have little, please think about giving this Wednesday so he can have a present to open on Christmas.
