Those widows have something to teach us!  One shared the last morsel of bread with a stranger, and another gave all the money she had to the temple.  So we're faced the questions: Do we give everything we have, and do we give it from our surplus or from our livelihood?  A further question to ponder: Do we give just our money and treasures, or do we also give our time and skills (i.e. talents)?  Giving from our surplus is OK, but when we're personally invested in each other, in God, and in our Church, our sacrifices carry more.  Let's learn from those widows!
