It has been said that life is a kitchen full of preparations that has a tendency to distract the "Martha" in all of us. It is my prayer that we come out of the kitchen for just a few minutes to sit at the Savior's feet.
Life always finds a way to keep us busy. Busy with good "things," even busy with necessary "things," but yet busy with "things" that keep us from the Savior. We become like Martha moving from task to task, meeting needs here and there, helping in any way possible. All the while hearing the words, "...you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed."
Jesus says something extraordinary about what Mary did; it would become a permanent part of her life; it would count for eternity. Quite a promise! "Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be taken away from her."
That's why she understood what the disciples were slow to grasp. That's why when they were arguing over their greatness in the Kingdom, she was again at the Savior's feet. That's why she anointed Him with costly perfume. That's why she said with her tears...I love You and good-bye.
May we find ourselves at the Savior's feet. May each intimate moment spent with Him give us clear vision of who He is, and may we love Him a little more deeply than we did before we sat down.
