Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
If I am reading this right (not sarcastically) George Bailey was rich because he had friends. Not because of money.
They came to his aid in his hour of need.
"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."
That's right. In addition he was rich because his prayers were answered and God fulfilled His promise to provide George with what he truly needed as opposed to what George Bailey wanted or thought he needed before.
While God may certainly use individuals to provide material needs and comforts to others, the Great Commission is to spread The Good News to others. Or in other words, enrich their spirits.
Church missions and the Salvation Army do a wonderful job of combining the two. Government must seperate them.
