A woman came to where Jesus was staying and broke a jar of an expensive fragrance to be put onto Jesus. It was an act of thanks. It was an act of kindness. It was to prepare Him for his death on the cross. It shows that acts of great kindness and love will be remembered and will be retold for generations to come. What legacy are you building in your family… your career… your church… and among your friends? What great act of love and kindness will they want to tell to future generations… so large… so unselfish… so impactful… that it simply must be told AND God is glorified in the retelling of His love and grace shown to you!
