I ran across someone who believes that Jesus is not commending the widow for giving her two mites. Granted, His response is not explicit commendation:
"Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had"-- Luke 21:3-4
I found this blog article (I know nothing about the author, except that he cites John MacArthur):

What do you think?
