One time, there was a widow-- An old lady that was poor and her husband died. It's called a widow.

So everyone was paying their tithing. And there's all these other rich men. He looked really fancy. Putting lots and lots and lots of money in. But the rich man gave a lot of money. He didn't give all of his money. And then the widow, she has the mite-- She only had that one mite-- A mite is lesser than a penny. It's teeny, teeny, teeny, teeny, teeny, tiny, and it's worth negative one. But she gives it to tithing, and now she has no money.

So she basically gave up her money for the Church. She gave everything she had. She knew that God could help her. And Jesus felt good about that. He was proud of her. He said that she paid more with just one mite, because she gave up everything--because that one mite was everything to her. Jesus, I think, was teaching us that if we give tithing to the Church, we'll have good things happen to us, blessings. He wants us to be like the widow and give everything. Jesus was teaching us about to give all we have to Him.
