Spikenard and chocolate or All to Jesus I surrender

"3And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
4And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
5For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
7For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
8She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
9Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her." Mark 14:3-9

It would appear that I copy my sister. But the pastor did preach about this on Sunday. People look at me funny when I say that I gave up chocolate for Lent. After all, what good would it do? But this woman poured spikenard on Jesus' head, which practically speaking, was folly. Whatever seems precious or valuable has no value until we break it and give it unto Jesus. He makes it whole and better than before. "For lo, He makes all things new" (that is probably way out of context, it's just what came to mind.

Anyway, this Easter, chocolate will taste so much sweeter than ever before.
