Sometimes we can feel resentful of the time we spend in service to our families, but we must take the time to find that connection with our Lord to show us how valuable every task performed with love can be. No task is too much of a burden if we do it with love and Mary washing the feet of Jesus is a perfect example.

I have always been too much of a Martha. It always seems that you have to be to get everything done, but it was Mary that reaped the most from Jesus' visit.

It's these times that we are forced to "be still" and learn. I too seem to be like Martha but yearn to be a Mary, just to sit and take Him and His love in.
