Mary and Martha

 

This latest piece of artwork is based on something I’ve been pondering on this week.  As everybody finds, sometimes life gets so crammed with things and we find ourselves being busy all day every day.  I was reminded of Mary and Martha  in the bible and felt challenged about whether I’m being a Martha or a Mary?  Am I being so busy with the things that I think need to be done or am taking the time to focus on Jesus first?   Sometimes I find the ‘to-do’ list gets so long that it begins to control my day and the deadlines that I feel are there dictate what becomes a priority – just like Martha.  Really I should be like Mary, putting all those things on the to-do list aside to seek Jesus first.  I’m definitely not managing to achieve this all the time, but having this picture in my mind or up on the wall is another prompt to help me along in the right way.
