to absorb...

Today the scripture Mark 14:8 has just stuck with me.  Actually just 6 words...out of context but so powerful...She hath done what she could....  I am going to keep this in my thoughts and life.  What  sensible guidance but so profound.  I'm loving just thinking about it and incorporating it into my personal life.  In my mind I will add something in brackets...She hath done what she could (without guilt). Ever feel guilty over not measuring up because you don't do enough?  Christ is the one that said these words and it is so powerfull!!!

Mark 14:3-9
¶ And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this awaste of the ointment made?
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
For ye have the apoor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
She hath done what she couldashe is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that ashe hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
