Mary and Martha
Martha was busy with food to prepare
as Mary sat so intently aware
while Jesus was teaching,
with Martha beseeching,
“Tell her to help me, this labour to share."
Jesus responded, “Martha you worry,
you busy about all in a flurry.
Mary's offering praise
with devotional gaze.
She's chosen aright. Abandon the hurry.”
Luke 10.38-42
