The Widow's Gift

Mark 12:41-44

The Widow lived what the Savior taught because the widow gave all that she had. She sacrificed so much, and even though it was less then what the rich people had cast in, it was more because it was more of a sacrifice for her to cast in the amount she cast in. The rich people cast in a lot, but they were rich so it didn't really affect them. The amount the widow cast in affected her because she was so poor, but she did it anyway because of her love and sacrifice.

2Nephi 25:23 ties into this scripture because the Widow gave all that she could. In this scripture it says that we will be saved by our grace after all that we can do, and the widow gave her all.

A better way that I can follow the widows sacrifice and obedience besides giving money, is to follow what the Savior has commanded and asked of me. I can obey commandments better to the point that I'm doing all that I can so that I am obeying what I should. I could obey more, and sacrifice much more to others. Giving to the poor is a good way and helping those in need even if it doesn't benefit me temporally.
