Next time you buy Christian Jewelry, think outside the cross

TheWidowsMite.net offers Widow's Mite Christian Jewlery & Gifts containing authentic ancient widow's mite coins excavated in Israel from the time of Jesus

Jewelry should mean something. When women rejoice upon receiving a beautiful diamond ring, the joy isn't in receiving a rare crystallized form of carbon. The joy is in receiving a symbol -- a symbol so powerful that a man is willing to spend a month's salary on.

A diamond is forever, but a faithful heart is Eternal.

The same should be true of Christian Jewelry. A cross, for example, is likewise a powerful symbol. Someone who wears a crucifix immediately associates himself with Jesus' selflessnes. The problem with symbolic Christian Jewelry is that there really aren't any choices outside of the cross.

That's the power of the Widow's Mite. When you give the gift of the Widow's Mite, you are saying to the recipient, "When you wear this piece of Christian Jewelry, you are connecting yourself to the poor Widow of Mark and Luke whom Jesus praised for her ultimate sacrifice. She gave her last two 'mites' to the Holy Temple because she knew God would provide for her next meal."

Just imagine holding an actual coin from the time that Jesus walked the earth. Hold your new Widows mite pendant in your hand and close your eyes and be transported back in time. Did this coin pass through Jesus' hands? It's certainly possible. It's truly amazing when you stop to think about it.
