The Widow's Mite
"The Widow's Mite" is a biblical story found in the Gospel of Mark 12:41-44 and Luke 21:1-4. It describes a poor widow who donates two small coins, known as mites, to the temple treasury. Despite her meager contribution, Jesus highlights her act as more significant than the larger donations made by wealthy individuals, emphasizing the importance of the spirit of giving.
The story illustrates the concept of sacrificial giving, where the value of a donation is measured not by its amount but by the heart behind it. It serves as a lesson on generosity and faith, encouraging individuals to give according to their means and intentions.
