Mary vs. Martha
We start our new women's study next week. We're mixing it up a little bit, and reading a book. I think we're going to go through it Book Club Style. We're reading Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver. I still think Martha got a bum rap...
One thing I've gleaned so far is Martha's gift was hospitality...and what a great gift to have. But, ever noticed--one's gift or strength is frequently their weakness as well.
Do I recognize where my strengths come from? Do I realize the gifts and talents God has bestowed on me? Do I keep them in perspective, remembering to follow Mary's example as well...and to be still at the feet of He who made me who I am? I do know I have a lot to learn and glean...so....I'll keep you posted on how the study goes!
