In this homily on the Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost, The Rev. Nancy Bryson, Deacon at St. George Episcopal Church, looks at the widow in the Gospel reading for the day. Jesus observed the widow giving all that she had in contrast to many scribes who focused on legalisms and upon their own personal gain, losing sight of the true meaning of God. The widow’s heart on the other hand was in the right place and she gave freely, trusting that God would provide. As Christians, we are called to be Christ’s witnesses on earth and to live and behave in His way. It does not matter how much or how often we make sacrifices to God. God only cares that your heart is in the right place. Send comments to musingsonfaith@gmail.com or leave a voice message: https://anchor.fm/st-george-episcopal-ch/message.
