Thank-you for joining us on another
Wonderful Women's Wednesday!
On Sunday we were with family members (male)
discussing and wondering why the women
did not receive higher recognition for their Gold
Hockey Achievement in the Olympics.
As you all know Crosby wins!!
It was interesting to hear the male section
agree that the women's hockey was outstanding..
Anyways we're on to bigger and better things.
Today I want to recognize two women from the Bible.
Mary & Martha!
These are two women who loved and dared.
They committed themselves to Jesus, truly following him.
They have inspired many of us...
in offering hospitality,
studying the scriptures,
loving God and neighborhoods.
As we all know..
Martha was regarded as a "homemaker type"
an in charge type of women,
concerned with household details.
Mary was often seen as a scholarly,
more spiritual,
maybe with a feminist personality.
This photo depicts Martha as someone
worried and distracted.
She resents Mary's behavior.
In the end, it looks like Jesus tells her,
that she has lost her focus...
She needs only one thing.....
She is to choose the 'Better Part"
to love God and her neighborhood,
and to be a disciple of Christ.....
Whoa!!!!!
I'm sensing some controversy right now!
Think about it...
Guests were coming for dinner, so Martha
presented the Martha Stewart way of life...
The sister not lifting a finger???
My blood pressure is rising...
Come to think of it, why didn't he
perform a miracle and feed the crowd,
that way Martha could of also sat at his feet?
What are your thoughts...?
We will be sticking to this topic for a few weeks.
Who do you represent?
Mary or Martha?
What does the 'Better Part' really mean?
