Graciously Received

And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury.  And He saw a poor widow putting in two small copper coins.  And He said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them; for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on.”

Luke 21:1-4

Jesus makes it clear that is not the amount of the offering that matters.  It is the intent of the giver. 

Offerings are to be graciously received, without commentary.
