Quote/Principle
The quotation below is about tithing, which in our day is much like what the widow was giving in her day.  It is a principle with amazing blessings.

Be assured that these blessings are poured out equally upon rich and poor alike. As the hymn says, it is “sacrifice [that] brings forth the blessings of heaven,” not the sum of our contributions. Members who freely give a full 10 percent of their annual income receive all of the promised blessings of tithing, whether the amount is a widow’s mite or a king’s ransom.
Robert D. Hales, Tithing: A Test of Faith with Eternal Blessings, Oct 2002 General Conference

Ornament
This was given to us by my parents.  It has a Taiwanese coin in the middle.  This represents the Widow's Mite.
