Do I really understand?

Mark 14:6-9 "Jesus said, " Let her alone. Why do you make trouble for her? She has done a good thing for me. The poor you will always have with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them, but you will not always have me. She has done what she could. She has anticipated anointing my body for burial. Amen, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed to the whole world, what she has done with be told in memory of her. '"

Jesus was talking about the lady with the alabaster box that we talked about the other day. The people around her criticized her greatly, remember. I don't think we totally understand this lady and others like her. She gave extravagantly. She gave in a way that was despised by those around her. She gave ahead of tradition, this was burial oil. She worshiped as she gave! She adored and loved Jesus extravagantly!... Do I? Do you?... Its something to consider as we continue on our Lenten journey to grow closer to God, to learn more about our Lord Jesus.
