The Widow's Gift Mark 12:41-43
The temple was big and beautiful. Inside the temple were some big money boxes. People put money in them. The money was for the temple and all that was used in worship to God. One day Jesus sat across from the money boxes. He saw many rich people put in lots of money. Then one poor woman, a widow, walked up to the boxes. She put in two small copper coins worth less th
an a penny. Jesus looked at his friends. "This poor woman put in more than the rich people did," he said. "Here's why: the rich people still have much money left. But this woman only had two coins. She did not have any more money. The rich people only gave part of what they had. She gave all of what she had." This story has lived with me most of my life and I have always let it lead me to those that needed help and to give to them tha last two coins that I have had, should they need it! While most of us have little to give, usiing LotsMoreCharities.com to direct some of the money paid to the utility company even if it is only 30 cents if enough of us as Americans give togather, I have to belive that it will make a difference!
