one leaf from the yellow wood
where they walked in the late afternoon

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

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.
