Mary or Martha?

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  Being busy is not necessarily being productive, it's just being busy.  There is a story in the Bible about two sisters, Mary and Martha.  When Jesus came around Mary found herself at his feet listening and hanging onto every word.  But Martha was a doer, always working, always staying busy.  She believed that she was accomplishing great things by cooking food, and cleaning the house, but those things did not matter to Christ.  He just wanted to share his love and the gospel and speak into their lives.  What about us today?  Are we the Mary who takes the time to stop and listen; to glean wisdom and knowledge or do we just keep right on barreling through with our busy things that we do.  Are we being productive or just being busy?  I think it's a great question to ask ourselves.  What is all this busyness getting me?  Where is it taking me.  If we are not affecting lives the way Christ would then are we being productive?  Does all the material things in this world really make that much difference?  Do they truly make us happy?  I don't want to be just busy, I want to be productive.  Father, help us to slow down and reassess our lives.  Help us to truly do the things that you would want us to do and affect the lives of people around us.  Let us do away with the busy work that so distracts us from your true purpose and let us dwell in your Holy Place and find what it is that we need to truly be doing to be productive in your Kingdom.  Thank you!  Amen!  Be Blessed!
