In Good Spirit

Will it be: “Why did you give your belongings to him? I could have used them.” Or: “I am glad you found someone who could use your things. What a blessing that must have been for him.”


Give from the heart, receive with gratefulness & always be happy for another’s blessings. One day we may be in need and in this distressing time we hope that others will be good spirited over our gifts.

Inspired by John 12:1-6

Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him. Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him) said, “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?” (He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he kept the common purse and used to steal what was put into it.)
