LUKE 10:39-41 39 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.
40 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!”
41 42 “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.”

This piece was really hard to finish as the stillness to work in the appropriate frame of mind eluded me for a long time. It’s a piece which I feel I should see, absorb and heed every day because despite my name I tend to be more of a Martha than a Mary.
