“And if she is not able to bring a lamb then she may bring two turtle doves or two young pigeons – one as a burnt offering and the other as a sin offering.” Leviticus 12:8
I like this understanding that not every woman would be able to bring a lamb. So they could bring something smaller, even pigeons.
Jesus, thank You for accepting whatever we can offer today, even something as small as simple words of gratitude and praise. And here’s a simple poem . . .
Still Able
When it feels like I have nothing
good at all to bring
I’ll offer up my voice
and let Your praises sing.
When my hands are still empty
but my heart is over full
I’ll let my joy in You be known
for now and evermore.
