Be Penny Wise

Then a poor widow came along and dropped in two little copper coins, worth about a penny. He called his disciples together and said to them, "I tell you that this poor widow put more in the offering box than all the others. - Mark 12:42,43 (GNT)

Think you're not worth a lot? Think your small part doesn't amount to much?

Think again.

Every penny counts. If a single one is missing, the results are affected.

What we are a part of is more important than the part we play.

That's my two cents!

Lord, help me to be faithful in my small part of the big picture.

“Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”

~ St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Reflect: Think of an area in which you play a seemingly trivial role. What would happen immediately, and over time, if you pulled out?
