Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Simon's mother-in-law shows us the proper response when we are helped by Jesus. When Jesus helps, heals, this woman she begins to 'wait on them.' In other words, she begins to serve Jesus. Most folks in Mark's gospel will have this reaction. Upon being healed by Jesus they will want to serve Jesus, and in fact some of them do. We are told these stories, in part, so that we will remember what Jesus has done for us, and so that we will be encouraged to offer our service to Jesus in whatever he may need. When Jesus does something for us, our response should then be to serve Jesus in whatever way we can. Like Simon's mother-in-law, when Jesus takes our hand and helps us up we need to serve him. God bless you.
