Hello! I hope you are having a great day! It is hot here today. 

 

But I want to talk about something we all do. Have you ever heard the story of Martha and Mary? If you have I want you to think about something. As a mom, I am always thinking about other things, such as  what's for dinner, Do you need money for school?, oh this needs to be done. But I never really settle down and think, "I should just listen to Jesus today." There comes a time when we need to just sit in the quiet of things and listen to what God is telling us. Maybe its just to rest for the day or maybe its something we need to do to deepen our faith with God. Whatever it may be -- Sometimes its ok to be a Mary and not  a Martha (Scripture is posted in the next paragraph). 

 

Luke 10:38-42
 

At the Home of Martha and Mary

38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
