The real issue in life is not how many blessings we have, but what we do with our blessings. Some people have many blessings and hoard them. Some have few and give everything away.

The quotation contrasts possession with stewardship: the moral measure of a life is not the quantity of “blessings” (talents, resources, opportunities) but the choices made with them. It frames abundance as ethically ambiguous—something that can be hoarded and thus rendered socially sterile—while elevating generosity as a form of meaning-making, even (or especially) for those with little. In a Rogers-like moral vocabulary, “blessings” implies gifts received rather than earned, nudging the reader toward gratitude and responsibility. The final sentences sharpen the point through antithesis: character is revealed less by what one has than by what one is willing to share.
