Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

If there is a lesson here for me it is to turn to the Lord.
I’ve always been a little mystified by this story. I mean if no one is doing the dishes things are going
to pile up pretty quickly. Maybe Martha is just bitter and doesn’t see or remember all the times that
Mary helped with the work. Or, maybe Mary really is kind of lazy and wants all of the Lord’s
attention. Maybe everything balances out in the end and truth can be a little tricky sometimes.
I’ve been thinking a lot about sisters lately since my own sister is facing another seemingly
insurmountable battle with cancer.
We all play certain roles within our families. Sometimes it can be difficult to break free from those
roles and their expectations...especially if we are comfortable in them or have learned to use them to

Over the ocean over the sea
Very early yesterday morning as we drove to drop my husband off at the train station.
And this morning from my kitchen window it still looked so beautiful.
I see the moon and the moon sees me Shining through the branches of the old oak tree Oh let the moon that shines on me Shine on the one I love
Over the ocean over the sea Back where my heart is longing to be Oh let the light that shines on me Shine on the one I love

I love the angle you used with the picture - how bold! I have to remember that sometimes. Planting ourselves near the Living Water is the best way to live our lives!
ReplyDeleteJust noticing the similarity between this verse and the beginning of Psalm 1. Too, the tilting of your picture spoke to me first thing this morning. Things have tilted here just a bit, but our roots are strong and we know where the horizon is.
ReplyDeleteI love this scripture so much and often refer back to it. Your photo is a perfect pairing!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a peaceful scene. And totally goes with this bible verse. Hope you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo to go with the scripture. Trust....we can trust like nature and the trees for all that is needed. A promise from God. I like it!! :)
ReplyDeletePerfect photo to go with a Scripture passage I love!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you for this verse today.
