Two Lifes Separate But Devoted

Martha and Mary were truly real people that lived over 2000 years ago when Jesus lived around their town their love for Him they would show Martha was ever so very busy never having a moment to spare always serving and rushing about a moment to be still was very rare Mary was one willing to learn when Jesus came around to visit she would hang on His every word at His feet she would pleasantly sit Both these women truly devoted in their own way to their master each in their own individual ways committed to Jesus as their pastor They both can teach us many lessons on what they showed to truly serve our great God and saviour Jesus Christ stay faithful and true holding our nerve (Luke 10:38-42 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 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!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[a]Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”)
