As Jesus and his disciples sat in the temple, they watched people come to offer their gifts to God. One woman in particular caught Jesus' eye. This woman, a poor widow, came and put two small coins into the treasury. While others gave only some of their wealth - from their abundance - this woman gave everything she had. During Lent, take time to think about the gifts we offer to God and the spirit in which we give them. Do we give only some of what we have, or do we give everything we have? And what are the different ways we can give?
