Today’s reading is Matthew 26:1-19
“Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.” But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial. Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.””
Matthew 26:6-13 ESV

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.” Do you want your actions today to be forgotten tomorrow or never? Our purpose here on earth is to glorify God in the unique way He has created us. We can chose to be a part of that purpose that lives on forever or be a part building our selves up and be forgotten in a generation. Being a part of God’s purpose gives meaning to the seemingly trivial things and also the great things and we know there will be peace with it. Please pray that we and our friends be a part of God’s purpose today in ALL we do. Please pray for Debbie, Makenna and Kole.
