Then Jesus said to them, “How can they say that the Messiah is David’s son? For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”‘ David thus calls him Lord; so how can he be his son?” In the hearing of all the people he said to the disciples, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets. They devour widows’ houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”

He looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the treasury; he also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.” Luke 20:41 – 21:4

Giving All

A big heart in a small frame
is not limited by funds or means
not bound by practice or culture
but remember forver in stories.

She walked slowly to the basin
to pour her lfe savings within
she was grateful for all she had
full of love despite her looks.

Some might have not noticed her
others would send her shamefully away
never would the welcome her
nor invite her to their fancy banquets.

Yet it is she who took the Savior's notice
she took the heart of the livign God
she gave from love and thankfulness
she becomes love's daily model and icon.
