Luke 21:1-4

Today's reading is about the 

widow's offering.

It teaches us that  

 God honors our gifts and most especially when 

they come at high price for us. 

Mary' gift was her reputation. 

Joseph's as well, truth be told.

There must have been much 

snickering behind their backs.

Mary knew all she had came from God

and would continue to come from Him.

Her baby himself was a gift.

Later in her life Mary makes another 

extraordinary gift to God.

One at very high price. 

Her baby himself.

Let's not forget the gift God has given us. 

It comes at a very high price.

We should honor God's gift

as He does ours.

It's in our Christmas story.

It's our Christ story.
