38 As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. 40 But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.”
41 But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! 42 There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”Sometimes life gets us distracted. I strive to keep my focus on the one thing worth being concerned about. Sometimes I need to remind myself often. How about you? Are you focussed on the one thing worth being concerned about or do you, like me, need to remind yourself continuously?

I agree with you. Too often we do what satisfies the natural man and may sometimes fail to remember the only thing that really counts, the heart and soul. Gerry
Thank you Gerry for your visit. I'm glad you and I think alike! Have a peaceful rest of your day :-)
Life is a distraction...but by His grace...I try to keep my eyes focused on the One that is the Life...and I always welcome reminders...because I need them, too....every day!
