M&Ms

Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” 

The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” (Luke 10:38-42)

The better part is to listen to Jesus.  However, listening without serving consistent with Jesus’ teaching and commandments falls short of required action.  

These M&M sisters go with one another.  They are a duo.  One is not better than the other.  Jesus’ words melt in our mouths, not in our hands needed to serve as part of the Body of Christ helping the anxious and the worried deal with their sorrow and despair.
