The Widow's Mite

Note:  Complications from the anesthesia kept me in the hospital an extra day. I came home on Friday afternoon instead of Thursday as planned.  Hope we didn't lose any readers....I'm "back in business now."

The familiar story of the widow donate her last two coins to the temple, remains a powerful story no matter how many times we hear it. What could she have bought with those two coins?  A meal, some cloth to make a needed garment?  Evidently, is wasn't much, but nevertheless, she gave from her need.  Because of her generous act, she has been an example of giving for 2000 years.
What small item can we donate to the needy?  What part of our "story" can we share with someone else that might help them with a struggle they are going through?  We don't know how much sharing our faith might mean to someone who is struggling with theirs or just having a "bad day" and is doubting God's care for them.  As with the widow, a small gift, a "mite" might be sufficient to "make someone's day."
