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.”

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

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

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.
