In Jesus’ day and age, widows would not have been expected to give to the treasury, yet, this woman shared what she had to live on. Jesus drew our attention to her not for how much she shared, but for how she shared, from her heart and her faith. Her desire to share her whole self was a gift. How are you honoring what you are given and sharing who you are?
