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

ReplyDeleteHey! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give
ReplyDeletea quick shout out and say I truly enjoy reading through your articles.
Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that go
over the same subjects? Thanks a lot!
Beautiful photo with a precious Scripture verse today! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat has always been a favorite verse. I sense the tenderness of God towards His little flock. There are so many leaders of small churches , (little flocks), that feel overlooked and forgotten in this era of mega churches and this verse is a much needed encouragement.
ReplyDeleteWe are blessed with so many things to enjoy in his creation. Yes indeed. Happy Palm Sunday
