ORRIN MORRIS: The smallest of gifts is meaningful when given with love, devotion

One day late in Jesus’ ministry, he was in the Temple near the offering box. A poor widow came up to it and tossed in two small coins. Jesus turned to his disciples and said that her meager offering was of more value than that given by all those who gave out of their abundance. He noted that she had given “all that she had, even all her living” (Mark 12:44).

Little things mean a lot when given in love and devotion. I always appreciated the homemade Father’s Day presents from my boys when they were little, no matter how small and simple.
