Do you remember Mary and Martha in the Bible?
May you and yours find Jesus on his birthday day!
May you find that you too are like Mary in your heart this weekend!

Well said! I have been hosting my in-laws since Dec 7th, only a little bit of Martha has snuck in. Thank you for such a thoughtful post. Have a Merry Christmas!

well said! I am happy to say I was mostly like Mary! Martha snuck in a bit but I was quickly able to put things in perspective – so important to allow ourselves to relax & enjoy.

Great post. I should have read this Christmas Eve when I was having a meltdown. 😉 Thankfully, I did ask for prayer from my support group and took Christmas Day nice and slow without any stress or high expectations of myself. God was good!
Barbara says
Such a great post. I need to be more like Mary but sadly I think I am more like Martha.
