While my kids sat at the kitchen table, my youngest, just 5, exclaimed, 'Look, Mom, she’s giving her last coins!' as he colored one of the Widow's Mite images. The story from Mark 12:43 reminds us that 'This poor widow has put in more.' Each of the six illustrations includes moments from this impactful story.
