RE: The offering of the widow - Mark 12: 41-44

What a great presentation "this portio Is powerful "We must offer in the midst of riches or poverty
Sometimes we may be tempted to think that only the rich should give, but in this passage Jesus focuses all his attention on the offering of the poor widow.
Very easily this can become the mentality of those countries that in other areas are constantly dependent on foreign subsidies. But in the kingdom of God this has to be different.
God does not deprive the poor of the joy of sharing with others their small portion.
Let us take as an example the Macedonians of whom Paul wrote, who, though under trials and tribulations, were still generous in their offerings.
(2 Cor 8: 2) "... In great trial of tribulation ... and his deep poverty abounded in riches of his generosity"
And the same could be said of the widow of Sarepta of Sidon, who had to scrape the bottom of the jar, but who still gave what she had to the prophet (1 Kings 17:12)."
Let give when we have little or more
