I AM A MARY (You Will Find Me Sitting At The Feet Of Jesus)


While Jesus and his followers were traveling,
Jesus went into a town.
A woman named Martha
let Jesus stay at her house.  
Martha had a sister named Mary,
who was sitting at Jesus' feet
and listening to him teach.  
But Martha was busy
with all the work to be done.
She went in and said,
"Lord, don't you care
that my sister has left me alone
to do all the work?
Tell her to help me."
But the Lord answered her,
"Martha, Martha,
you are worried and upset
about many things. 
Only one thing is important.
Mary has chosen the better thing,
and it will never be taken away from her."
Luke 10:38-42

OH, I LOVE THAT LAST VERSE! 
I long past realized that I am a "Mary". 
There's nothing I LOVE more
than sitting at the feet of Jesus.
But there comes a point in time when
you realize that "Martha"
Needs to come out!
There is work to be done,
Dishes, laundry, dusting ~
but, I just want to sit at his feet
Sorry, "Martha"
For now I will choose
"the better thing"
See ya later "Martha"

  1. I'm with you on that! I am a Mary. Often times, Marthas don't understand Marys but that doesn't change me!

    Blessings,
