Spending Time with Our Savior

A lesson for us in the story
busy Martha running about
noble motives, offering hospitality
but missing the larger point

Mary blessed, by her attention
Spending time at the feet of Christ
drinking in his holy message
unfocused on the things of this earth

How often do we become distracted
clinging to our busy lives
failing to stop,
to spend precious minutes

Sitting at the feet of God;
open the word
linger with Christ
heed His calling for our lives

The better path
to sit in stillness
to drink in as Mary did
God’s message for our lives
