'Only for a Little While!' - Mark 14:7-8

[After people said the money for the expensive perfume the woman poured on Jesus' head should have gone to the poor, he said,] "You will always have the poor among you, and you can help them whenever you want to. But you will not always have me. She has done what she could and has anointed my body for burial ahead of time."

Mark 14:7-8 NLT

Key Thought​


So often we have people we love dearly and greatly respect but we don't praise, honor, or thank them until after they are dead. This story of the woman's expensive gift to Jesus should be a reminder that we shouldn't wait till people are dead to give them the thanks they deserve. Let's thank others and honor them in ways that are appropriate for their service.

Today's Prayer​


Father, I know there are many people in my life who have blessed me. Please forgive me for not being more affirming and appreciative to them. Help me see the opportunities I have to thank and honor people, always to your glory, before their time on earth is ended. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
