What difference does your vote make in an election? If one vote doesn’t matter, why bother? If our “two cents” is unimportant, why does Jesus praise the poor widow’s negligible temple donation?

  • True giving is from the heart.

  • She loved God with her “all.”

  • Many gave to impress others.

  • She did not seek recognition.

  • She did not expect a reward.

  • She gave sacrificially.

We all have a view of ourselves. We see ourselves as operating in a variety of ways in the world as a child, parent, employee, and the like. But do we ever operate at a poor widow? Do we ever see ourselves in her situation and operate accordingly? Yet Jesus often alludes to the power of widows, even poor ones to understand our faith. What does this window on widows teach us?

Blessings, Will
