The Lord Jesus gave one of the highest compliments in this verse to Mary. “She hath done what she could” (Mark 14:88She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. (Mark 14:8)). This challenges our hearts. How often we fail and don’t measure up to doing all that we could or should.
Colossians 3:23-2423And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. (Colossians 3:23‑24) also encourages us to do our best for the Lord and our family. “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord  ...  for ye serve the Lord Christ.” Whether it’s preparing a meal or cleaning my home, I can do it heartily to the Lord. Doing my daily chores for the Lord adds nobility to a task that can otherwise be drudgery. It reminds me of the first and last words of a hymn:
Give of your best to the Master,
Give of the strength of your youth  ...  
Give Him your heart’s adoration;
Give Him the best that you have.
