This is a drawing of
Mary, the sister of Lazarus.
When she cleaned Jesus' feet with
costly perfumed oil, she wiped his feet
afterwards with her hair.
The story can be found in the Gospel of
John, chapter 12, verses 1-11.
Mary washed Jesus' feet
with the expensive oil,
and it remained on her hair!
Like Mary, when we
do good,love extravagantly,
spreading its perfume,
the wonder of it is,
its odor sticks to us!
Love is not left on
those we lavish it on!
I love blog parties!
Won't you join us?
Blessings!
Patsy
I love this one!
ReplyDeleteLive with an attitude of abundance, giving freely and there will always be enough to share. Live with an attitude of scarcity, that is what will be. Love this

ReplyDeleteYou are so talented. I love your artwork. What a perfect way to correlate Mary washing Jesus' feet with perfume, to the good works we do today.
ReplyDeleteYou're right! Love spreads...when we share the love of Christ it radiates to more and more people! What a joy!
ReplyDeleteah, there is that old saying that love is the only thing that the more you give away, the more you have. This is so true in Christ.
