WOMEN IN THE BIBLE
MARY and MARTHA

LUKE 10

Jesus and his disciples came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 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!”

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

And...the fenster!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Goody.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Alba, if you’re happy, I’m happy.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Still love the Siemiradzdki from when you posted it before. Beautiful painting, wonderfully detailed setting he creates.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Sun-dappled and Son-shiny.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

A tiny glimpse of Heaven.

[Hebrews 11:6]

So, you fancy hanging out with Emmanuel, eh?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Well, wouldn’t that scene be nice hangout? I’d even be happy to help Martha with the chores to hangout like that.

[Hebrews 11:6]

LOL! She would welcome the help and, one suspects, the attention.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

And you’d still get to hear what Jesus was saying to Mary…a win-win!

Good Morning Dan, and glad ‘Over-The-Hump’ of Hurricane season.

So many wonderful works, stunning fenster and Yay: a beautiful relief. (anyone know the artist? Or where it resides? Etabeta knows =:^)

Thank You Dan, and God’s blessings to each of you.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I’ll meet you there, Scott!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Earthquake season in Califerndoc is year-round, Leon. Shake/Rattle/Roll!

[etabeta]

1858 marble relief from Czech sculptor Václav Levý.

[etabeta]

Had to look it up, I don’t know this sculptor.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thank you, Alba. We are indebted to you.

[InkStone]

You’re the best etabeta; thank you for your constant help.
