 3.20-

Women who are "all in" for Jesus was on my mind at awake time at 3am on this first day of day light saving time.. My grandmother's both had hard circumstances in life but they both finished strong for God. They served quietly and not for earthly recognition. "All in women."

My mother spent her last few days of freedom giving gifts to her kids and grandkids. Handmade quilts by personal request.

My wife spent most of her free time in retirement collecting cartoons and articles to give a laugh and hope to prisoners. Today a man who works with prison ministry(a former prisoner) told me, " I have to take a stack of those cartoon sheets each week to the prisoners and I run out and they ask for more. I'm sure she's smiling about this from up there."

One woman who is a best, long term friend of Sheila and me is brilliant professor with her doctorate. She goes to teach women in prison every Tuesday afternoon. All these women and others I have know are "all in" for Jesus. Wow!

Matthew 26.

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon [a]the Leper, 7 a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very expensive perfume, and she poured it on His head as He was reclining at the table. 8 But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, “Why this waste? 9 For this perfume could have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you bothering the woman? For she has done a good deed for Me. 11 For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. 12 For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial. 13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
