"The Mother's Mite"

The following is a story made by DeAnne Flynn told at a Time Out For Women in Ogden Utah. I didn't go there but I read about it here. I really liked the story so I thought I would share it with all my fellow mom bloggers.

It is a small take on the story of the widow's mite found in Mark 12:41-44. This is her version:
"And there came a certain weary woman, and she threw in two frozen pizzas, which made a meal. And she said , 'Eat it.' And her husband called their children saying 'our compassionate mother hath put more in the oven than you.' And they accepted of her offereing becasue they knew she had given it to them with all the energy she had left and thus providing for her family. And that very hour was indeed a mother's mite."

DeAnne Flynn goes on to talk about the importance of the little things mothers give admist so much around them. You can read the rest of the article here. She has also announced an initiative to recognize "The Mother's Mite" " as a place online where women can gather to share, to bolster one another's efforts, and to provide creative mothering ideas."
