Luke 8: 1-3

The Parable of the Sower

8 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, ² and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; ³ Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.

We highlight the key women of varied backgrounds who aided Jesus in his ministry and not that their contribution came from the love they had for Jesus and for a way of "paying forward" what they had received from him.  The same needs, tbe same mission is available to all of us in our time.  If we recall the blessings we have received, we might find similar motivation to assist Jesus as best we can in our own circles.  It's not as complicated as we might think...with open eyes and open hearts we can become part of the band of followers of Jesus and servers of those in need.
