Mark 12 Widow's Mite Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

43Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.” .

Dear Pastors and Sunday School Teachers,

In Mark 12, Jesus shares the beautiful story of the widow’s mite - a great lesson on giving. This woman, though she had very little, gave all she had (everything she had to live on!). Her offering was small in the world’s eyes, yet it was immense in God’s. Jesus used her gift to remind us that God values the intent of our hearts, not the size of our offerings!

As you serve the Lord, remember that God sees and values every bit of effort, time, and love you give, no matter how small it may feel. Even the quiet moments of preparation, the simple lessons, or the one-on-one encouragement you give to a child—God notices and treasures these acts. Just as He noticed the widow’s mite, He sees every bit of care and sacrifice you pour into this ministry. (He also sees our times of frustrations but thankfully his grace towards us)

Take heart, knowing that your work in the work of the kingdom is not unnoticed by God, and the seeds you plant will bear fruit in His perfect time -even when we can't see it. Your faithfulness, like the widow's, makes a powerful impact, and it is deeply valued by our Heavenly Father. - Keep up the great work! - A.H.
