The Widow's Gift
The temple was big and beautiful. Many people came there to
worship God. 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 than 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."
