Reading: Luke 10:38-42
Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.” Reflection What a joy it is to have company! Friends and family sharing stories and memories with me over a cup of tea or coffee. And how nice if my home were spotless whenever these visits occurred. Long ago, the parlor was where people entertained and it was always kept immaculate. But it’s the laughter, friendship, and feeling of being welcome that really matters. Whether it be a parlor or the porch or around a campfire, the blessings of sharing time together make it all worthwhile. Dust if you must but be sure to sit and listen, too. --Alice Yeakel Prayer Dear Lord, thank you for the opportunities to welcome people into our homes. Thank you for opportunities for fellowship together, sharing love and joy. Amen.
