Do what you Can...

6 “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7 The poor you will always have with you,[b] and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. 8 She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. 9 Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.” Mark 14:7-9




Sometimes as women we hold ourselves to high standards..we have to get everything done..and do it perfectly. We feel like failures if we do not accomplish this. Take to heart the words of Jesus when he was talking about the anointing by Mary... "She did what she could"... Jesus knows that we cannot do everything perfectly- only he could do that. We will have days where we won't exercise the time we wanted or eat the way we wanted to... just remember that is is ok to do what you can. That's all that's expected. Tomorrow is always a new day with a full serving of grace.. for today... we do what we can.
