1 | how were the sisters | Luke 10:42 | prayon | 72088 | ||
Greetings, Mary and Martha were different in that Marh was impassioned and imaginative while Martha was practical and unemotional. Martha was probably the older one and the home maker. In this passage Martha became upset that Mary sat at the Lord's feet listening to His teaching while she was doing all the work. Martha complained to Jesus about this. Jesus told her that Mary was doing the better thing because she was concentrating on that thing which could not be taken away from her. Jesus was more interested in food for the soul rather than food for the body. What Martha was concentrating on was something that could be done anytime. prayon |

prayon - Excuse me if I digress a little. But I find so much that is applicable to our lives here and now. Yes, Jesus should come above everything and have first priority. But I also think of the people who are important in our lives. When we have company, are we so busy preparing and cooking that we don't have the time and energy to really involve ourselves with them? Or how about our children? I am afraid when mine were little, I had to have a clean house and I find that now, with my grandson I have my priorities more in the right places. I would rather have time with him - even though I have "designer furniture" (fingerprints in the dust!) rather than an immaculate house. Too many of us are caught up in the "Martha syndrome" and don't realize it until it is too late. I wonder if Martha ever did sit down next to her sister and decided that, just for once, sandwiches were good enough? Debbie |

I agree. I was the same way. Wouldn't it be nice if we could go back and change some of the things we blew? My grandchildren also come first in my life now, (along with my daughter who is the only one left at home now). Wonder if that is why we are such better grandma's than we are mom's? prayon | ||||||
