herself on the altar – v11

She gave but two coins

but it was herself on the altar,

the widow in the temple

offering herself to God

We look to her example

of extravagant giving,

we long to be like her

in our faith journey

She gave but two coins

but she gave all of what she had,

she placed herself on the altar

offered unto God
