Thank you for sharing your cute graphics.

I meant to tell you that I use mostly PhotoImpact now.
My son gave me new software but I haven't really used it yet.
Before PhotImpact, I used Paint Shop Pro. I will still use that occasionally.

It’s Beautiful!

Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me.” —Mark 14:6

After being away on business, Terry wanted to pick up some small gifts for his children. The clerk at the airport gift shop recommended a number of costly items. “I don’t have that much money with me,” he said. “I need something less expensive.” The clerk tried to make him feel that he was being cheap. But Terry knew his children would be happy with whatever he gave them, because it came from a heart of love. And he was right—they loved the gifts he brought them.

During Jesus’ last visit to the town of Bethany, Mary wanted to show her love for Him (Mark 14:3-9). So she brought “an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard” and anointed Him (v.3). The disciples asked angrily, “Why this waste?” (Matt. 26:8). Jesus told them to stop troubling her, for “she has done a good work for Me” (Mark 14:6). Another translation reads, “She has done a beautiful thing to Me.” Jesus delighted in her gift, for it came from a heart of love. Even anointing Him for burial was beautiful!

What would you like to give to Jesus to show your love? Your time, talent, treasure? It doesn’t matter if it’s costly or inexpensive, whether others understand or criticize. Whatever is given from a heart of love is beautiful to Him.

Nothing I could give You, Father, could repay You for Your sacrifice. But I want to give You what You would think is beautiful. I give You my heart today in thankfulness for Your love.

A healthy heart beats with love for Jesus.

INSIGHT: The account of the woman who anointed Jesus with oil is preceded by the Pharisees’ plot to kill Him (14:1-2) and is followed by Judas agreeing to betray Him (vv. 10-12). The events relating to those who plotted to kill Jesus are given only brief and cursory treatment (two verses each), while the account of the woman who anointed Jesus with perfume is given a full and detailed description (seven verses). Clearly this woman’s actions will be remembered (v. 9).

Thanks, Amy. I was hoping that it would inspire a laugh or two. :)

The Early Morning

The moon on the one hand, the dawn on the other:
The moon is my sister, the dawn is my brother.
The moon on my left and the dawn on my right.
My brother, good morning: my sister, good night.

Happy Monday Morning, Everyone!

Gorgeous, MEG!

[MEG33]

Lovely, trish.
Glad you liked the bluebonnets and evening primroses.
It’s that time in Texas.

Good morning! Speaking of the sunrise and moon, I was up before the sun yesterday for Chime Choir duty at Palm Sunday services. That is just a warm up for the even earlier services for Easter. Have to be there at 6 for the first service next week. Oh the chimes sound pretty, but it’s not fun getting up so early and driving there. It’s all worth it though.

I am doing my tax prep work today, for our appointment on Tuesday.

Checking in to say HI to Everyone, and will be back later tonight to check in again.

Cheers
