Beautiful portrayal of Martha and her desire to please Jesus. It is also in my nature to serve so I understand this. Great job of capturing the emotions one might feel before the arrival of a most important guest of honor. And who could be more important than Jesus.

This is a wonderful biblical character story. Out of respect for the Lord Martha is meticulously reading for His arrival. I like the detail in your story, and the questions you pose.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes
Cindy

good visual of Martha trying so hard to be ready for Jesus and yet too busy to be truly ready for his visit, People will say ... and they'd be right.

I love your portrait of Martha! And the world needs both practical, hardworking, service-oriented Marthas and deeply meditating, God-adoring Marys. Your refrain about Martha worrying about the little things works well. Best wishes in the contest!

A well composed piece involving Martha, in response to the writing prompt to write a story about a biblical character. The prose are descriptive and the story flows well. Good job!

I love this story and could feel her nervousness and pride at the thought of serving Jesus the son of God. I couldn't begin to imagine how I'd be!! You wrote about her so well, as if we were there with her. Just so lovely. Well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

As all of us have gifts, Martha's was one of hospitality, and she laboured in her adoration of the Lord, as much as Mary who sat at Jesus' feet, Jesus loved Martha, and would not begrudge her, He would have been aware of her sensitive labours. Beautifully written, as with the second son in the saga of the prodigal son, Martha is significant as the sister of Lazarus, the last miracle of Jesus. Well done, great story, good luck, blessings Roy

This is a wonderful interpretation of what Mary of the Bible might be like. You've developed her character well, showing us her insecurities and goal to please. Well done.

Excellent interpretation of what Martha could have been feeling. Why wouldn't you want the best for any guest visiting to dine? You would, and this is the ultimate visitor. While he may not have cared what Martha's house looked like, or how much trouble she went into preparing this dinner, he'll know that Martha cared enough to give her best for him. And because of this he cared to give the best of him to all of us. Good luck in the contest.
