“Widow’s Mite”

Blessings folk!

Today’s reading:

Mark 12:41-44
Luke 21:1-4

pastedGraphic
Jesus was an observer of people.
He watched.

In this account He watched as people gave of their resources.

He watched the rich.
He watched the poor.

He decided to seize the teachable moment.
He called His disciples.
A lesson was to be seen.

The rich gave from their abundance - they have received their reward.
The poor woman gave all she owed...leaving nothing to live on.
She put in more than all the rest.
She gave all.

How do you give?
As the Lord leads?
With abandon?
With joy?
