This isnt your only offering concerning Martha...your first inspired my own in a poem once upon a time.
Hi...Happy Feet...smile
Without the Martha's of the world we'd all be in a welfare state...but...it was her to point out who prepared the most...not Someone else. I think that why the correction given...wonderful recollection. Love Michael

Hi Michael, it is lovely to read your comments. Just like old times...Thanks!
Comment from Loren .
This is so well written and historical fiction is not easily done. You have captured the essence of the story as presented in the Bible while expanding what must have been Martha's thoughts and anxious feelings. Loren

Wow, Nancy...you have truly captured the character of Martha so well...I might be a Mary, but the Marthas are remembered.
Your writing skills are spot on and most appreciated by me in this memorable post.

This is an admiable view of Martha's story that you have written. I think women, when they are hosting a meal are always extremely concerned with things of the world. It is interesting that you kept drawing attention to this. It brings a touch of realism to your story.

I am not all that familiar with the Bible, but based on the little I do know, Jesus would have been happy with anything Martha may have served. However, the fact that she went out of her way to assure a pleasant experience for her guests, puts her in the same league with countless others who plan and then host an event for friends and family. We all take a cue from Martha when we have company over, even if the company is not the son of God. And I think Jesus would approve of that approach.
Lovely story.

Comment from Rdfrdmom2
This is one of my favorite New Testament stories because it reminds me I should always pay more attention to my relationship with my Savior than to anything this world has to offer. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from robyn corum
Dear Mystery Writer,
I completely understand. I have two sisters-in-law and we cut up that they are Mary and Martha. They both stay busy, busy, busy, but one of them NEVER stops. EVER. We always call her Martha. (Actually do you remember Marcia, on Brady Bunch? For some reason, I call her 'Martha, Martha, MARTHA!')
My point is that I can relate. Fortunately, we all usually pitch in and get all the work done so we can then all rest and enjoy the time afterward. Thanks!

You did a great job In Describing how Martha prepare for her visitor... you went through every details how she cleaned everything...although she might worry too much, that is human nature.
Thanks for sharing

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
The story about Martha is heart warming. She makes the kneeded bread and is so excited to see Jesus of Nazareth. She is keeping the path clear so he doesn't step on stones with His holy sandals.
