Widow’s Mite by Liz Swindle, used with permission

“…We live in a selfish world where people constantly ask, “What’s in it for me?” instead of asking, “Whom can I help today?” or “How can I better serve the Lord in my calling?” or “Am I giving my all to the Lord?”

Cristina B. Franco, Second Counselor in the Primary General Presidency
