At Saturday's General Session, Elisa Morgan read from Mark 14. I am going to post verses 3-9 from my NIV Bible.
"While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.
Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, 'Why this waste of perfume? It could have been sold for more than a year's wages and the money given to the poor.' And they rebuked her harshly.
'Leave her alone,' said Jesus. 'Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing for me. The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.'"
She Did What She Could...
Any thoughts?

These are just some of my thoughts on Mark 14:1-10 I have been looking over the passage like once a week just being still with it.
Mary chose to remember the lord by given all she had to honor him, even though she was rebuked. She did what she could. Am I doing what I can to honor the Lord by my actions my words my thoughts. Do I give Christ the expensive part of my heart, do I give Him my best time to sit and pray or do I give Him the left over time when I am tiered and warn out and can keep my eyes open.
