Mark 12:41 Then Yeshua sat down opposite the Temple treasury and watched the crowd as they put money into the offering-boxes. Many rich people put in large sums, 42 but a poor widow came and put in two small coins. 43 He called his talmidim to him and said to them, “Yes! I tell you, this poor widow has put more in the offering-box than all the others making donations. 44 For all of them, out of their wealth, have contributed money they can easily spare; but she, out of her poverty, has given everything she had to live on.”

I spent six months working on a project for my job. When it was completed, no one praised me or told me I did a good job. At home, I worked for thirty minutes making a craft project with my young daughters. When we were done with the craft, we were all satisfied and filled with joy.
People today admire the great and the spectacular. But which is really greater - the star athlete who scores a winning goal or the single parent who raises her children to love and follow God? Sometimes it is the small and unnoticed things we do in life that are the greatest.
Our Bible Reading today talks about a small thing that happened at the Temple. "Then a poor widow came and put in two very small cooper coins, worth less than a penny" (verse 42). Jesus praised this woman for what she did. "This woman is very poor, but she gave all she had" (verse 44b).
Whatever you do today, do it for God. God will be pleased with you and bless you![BL]
"Everything you say and everything you do should be done
for Jesus your Lord." [Colossians 3:17a[
PRAYER: God, I want to please You today in everything I do. In Jesus' name. Amen.
