When a poor widow gave two small copper coins to the Temple treasury, the widow’s offering became a real-life parable for Jesus’s disciples. The story of the widow’s offering—sometimes called the widow’s mite—is found in Mark 12:41-44 and Luke 21:1-4. The woman’s generosity in this story is more than a lesson on tithing; her willingness to give everything moves our hearts. Just like this woman’s generous act moved the people who watched her, we have an opportunity to allow her courageous giving to inspire us as well.
