1 Timothy 6:2-12; Ps. 49; Luke 8:1-3

With Jesus went certain women

I love this small window into the life of Jesus. The women are named! They are daring, strong, loving, counter-cultural in their accompanying of Jesus. How Jesus must have appreciated and enjoyed their steadfast companionship as their desire to serve deepened.

This was the Gospel in 2010, at the funeral of a well-known, giving and loving Wellington woman- Veronica Williams. Pray in gratitude for the women in your life who are strong in their relationship with Jesus and who reveal his presence in all sorts of ways.
