They are rich. They are giving. They are offerings they give. Their richness appears in what they give. A woman came. It seems nothing is in her hand. No bag, no box. Almost sounded empty. She dropped two coins. She also a widow.
"she dropped only two coins?" disciples said to themselves. Jesus said, "she had only two coins". Disciples are watching the same thing that Jesus was watching. They are not watching the same way that Jesus was watching.

"What is she that our Lord is mindful of her?", disciples thought. They went to Jesus and said, "come Lord. See these valuable stones. How beautiful the temple was built because of the offerings".
Yes her offering cannot buy a single stone there. Its all because of the big offerings the rich people gave. They know how to buy their credits in the church.
Jesus said, "yes. Let them build. But it won't stay. The day is coming that each stone will be removed." What is a gift if he did not take it?
Let the disciples mindful of granite, even now. Jesus is mindful of granny. Her husband died but she never chose a way for coins. She brought everything she had. She emptied herself. She emptied and made a way that the Lord would come and fill. She did not use it for a bribe. She love the Lord so she gave ALL that she has. Disciples gave their attention to the temple and she pulled the attention of the Lord of the temple. They said she has nothing but she got every thing that Jesus is mindful of her.
