was clearing my mail box, and happened to see this mail... abt Mary and Martha...

Mary and MarthaIn the hustle and bustle of the job, fixing the car and trying to make ends meet, we can lose sight of the purpose of life. Many times, we don’t stop the mad rush until we face a devastating personal crisis. You can know the purpose of your life, and it will change everything. But sometimes that means you have to stop and just listen.Jesus visited the house of two sisters. Mary sat and listened to Jesus teach the principles of life. Martha was distraught with preparing a meal and complained that Mary wasn’t doing her part.Jesus answered, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:41-42). The details of life’s busyness would still be there tomorrow, but for now Mary saw the need to nurture her spiritual nature. It is the time you spend with your Creator in daily prayer and Bible study that will guide everything else in your life.
