In a small village, there lived a kind woman in a little stone house. She was cheerful and hardworking. Every morning, she swept the floor, baked bread, and thanked God for each new day. The woman had something very special—ten shining silver coins. She kept them carefully in a small cloth pouch. These coins were precious to her. She counted them often. “One… two… three… four… five… six… seven… eight… nine… ” She stopped suddenly. “Nine?” she whispered. Her eyes grew wide. She counted again. “One… two… three… four… five… six… seven… eight… nine.” One coin was missing! The woman searched inside the pouch again and again. But the tenth coin was gone. “Oh no,” she said. “Where could it be?” She knew the coin was valuable. She would not give up. The house was dark, so she lit a bright lamp. Warm light filled the little room. She looked under the table. No coin. She looked beside the bed. No coin. She checked the shelf, the baskets, and the corners. Still no coin. Then she took her broom and swept the floor carefully. Dust moved across the room. She swept behind the chairs. She swept near the door. Sweep… sweep… sweep. The woman kept searching. Some people might have said, “You still have nine coins. Forget the lost one.” But the woman knew every coin mattered. She searched with all her heart. Suddenly— Clink! Something shiny rolled from under a mat. The woman bent down quickly. “It’s here!” she cried. There it was—the missing silver coin, sparkling in the lamplight. She laughed with joy and held it tightly in her hand. “I found it! I found it!” The woman was so happy that she ran outside and called to her friends and neighbors. “Come celebrate with me!” she said. “I lost one of my silver coins, but now I have found it!” Her friends smiled and rejoiced with her. They shared laughter and happiness together. Jesus told this story to teach something wonderful: Every person is precious to God. When someone feels lost, forgotten, or far away, God still loves them deeply. God searches with love and joyfully welcomes them home. You are never too small to matter. You are never forgotten. You are valuable to God. And when you turn to Him, heaven rejoices with joy.
