Terrific thoughts!

This weekend, I posted some thoughts about this topic as well, considering the widow in the Temple who gave all that she had. I am struck by the truth of God looking not at how much we give but how much we have left.

There are also more ways to give than money: offering one's time or unique skills to someone who needs it can be a valuable gift.

I don't have answers but I find myself wanting to embrace the discomfort of this and wrestle more with these questions about how much belongs to God (everything!) and what Christ calls us to--we who have been given much.
