Week 7 - Time well spent

Luke 10:38-42 is the well known story of Mary and Martha. Mary was remembered for spending time with Jesus while Martha was busy doing work. The kind of work that Martha was doing could be categorized as "women's work." This is similar to women of today whose work just never seems to stop. Our lists of things to do go on and on and on everyday as long as we are alive.


Jesus was not telling Martha that the little things that she does daily do not matter, because they do. What he was telling her and women of today was to not let our work be more important that precious family who love us. We should not let our work be ignored completely, but we should put people first because they are what really matter!

Time is so precious. We cannot get it back. Once it is spent it is gone forever so don't make the mistake of spending all of your time on tasks that do not involve those that you love.

This week I encourage you to sacrifice something you normally do to spend time with someone you love.

I won this giant clock at my work Christmas Party in December.
