I saw a notice the other day that the Bezos' have given away something like $7 billion, and Mackenzie Bezos has given away something like $6 billion of that. Really makes the $100 I give to a charity feel pretty small.
So I love the way this is phrased -- the woman gave what she could when she could.
I think that's a beautiful summation of how we're called to give -- to give what we can, when we can. Part of this is a reminder to give as we get things, not to always wait until later to give. The other part is a reminder to give what we can. It's not about beating someone else or being noticed or wondering if we've given enough. In the moment, we give what we can. And we entrust the Holy Spirit to take our humble gifts and turn them into something marvelous.
