This is a story that exemplifies the idea that different people are destined to fulfill different roles in life, in the spreading of the gospel. We often find ourselves feeling we are being unfairly; we see ourselves as slaving over the hot stove and cleaning the dishes while someone else sits and listens to the revelations of Christ. But Jesus seems to tell us to stay focused on what job he gives us and not worry about what someone else is doing. He told the disciples the same thing when they complained that John wouldn't have to leave Israel. estory

My older sister was named Mary Martha, and it seemed that she was always conflicted. I would say that that name was probably a part of why she was conflicted because Mary looked at things one way and Martha looked at things another way and so I can see why she was confused all of her life.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Mary and Martha is often a reflection of how believers can somtines have a different interpretation of some parts of scripture. The Holy Spirit must be the unifying agent when disagreements arise.

Another important lesson, Roy, I really enjoy reading your pieces and I I love how philosophical they are as well. I thought it flowed really well and I really enjoyed reading it.

Comment from Wendy G
Yes, they were two quite different personalities, and both were showing their love and care for Him in their own ways. Martha did not understand at first why Mary wouldn't help her with the work, but the Lord commended Mary for her devotion and reverent heart.

An interesting comparison between the story of Mary and Martha and the writing of music and lyrics. Sometimes the choice is a difficult one, but abiding with Jesus is always better. Blessings. Carol

Comment from DonandVicki
The story of Marth and Mary is one of my favorites in the Bible. I always get a chuckle as I read or listen to the story. I can see Martha busting her butt getting things ready and wishing she could sit at Jesus's feet. HEY! somebody's got to get the work done.

Comment from Me and Erin G
What an absolutely delightful piece of work. It flows so effortlessly as if the words were created to be next to each other in this order.
The central and recurring theme of "sometimes there is no right or wrong..." is a wonderful motif.
It reminds me of a catchy "hook" in a "can't get it out of my head" Beatle song!
High praise indeed!
p.s. thank you for the thoughtful review you left for my "love is the storm" poem. Much appreciated.

What a beautiful poem! I really enjoyed how you share the theme of wisdom throughout. Your use of rhyme creates a lovely flow that makes the message even more beautiful. The final lines are especially powerful. Keep up the fantastic work!

The Bible will last forever, and wherever it goes, the story of Martha and Mary will be told. Martha wanted everything perfect for her guests, but Mary need have no guilt for the part she took in Christ's visit.
