Philosophy of Religion and a Question of Reality

A minister gave a rousing sermon touching upon the point that even if one cannot see the divinity, God is still there watching over his flock.  
When he was done, he took up a special collection for the building remodeling project, and then after a few announcements the service was over.  
The minister shook hands with the congregants as they left, thanking people for donating to the project.
One woman noted that she put a $100-bill in the collection towards it.  
"We saw the envelope with your name and amount listed," said one elder, "but we didn't see anything inside."
"Even though you couldn't see it," she replied, "it's still there." 

What is right and what is wrong with this analogy?
