Mary and Joseph worked hard to save money for baby Jesus’ dedication at the temple, but when the dove seller charged too much, they couldn’t afford both the dove and the lamb.

The best things—like God’s love—can’t be bought with money, so we should trust Him and never try to take advantage of others just to get more.
