Martha's Story

Comment from Sherry Asbury
Everything Martha does shows her pride in her service and her love of the Lord - I find when we are in awe of someone and serve them with a willing and happy heart it is blessed - it changes the world around us and brightens the very skies. This is lovely and tender-hearted...as well as well-written.

Comment from tfawcus
You're right. It is a lovely story, and so utterly human. You have taken the bones of it and fleshed them out beautifully with fine detail. One can just imagine Martha rushing hither and thither, making sure that everything is just as it should be and that she has done all she possibly could to welcome her important guest.

This piece, Martha's Story, gives the readers a look at a person who appreciates the magnitude of the personage she will be seeing. Such preparations are meant to reveal what a person feels that they may not be able to express otherwise.

Comment from Leann DS
I liked reading your story about Martha. I believe that she was showing Jesus and his disciples love and respect by honoring them in the way she knew how and then using her gifts that God gave her. I really enjoyed this. Best of luck to you in the contest. Hugs and blessings.

Comment from Anne Johnston
What a lovely portrayal of the life of Martha. I have always admired her character, as she lovingly server her Master and his friends. In her heart, she probably wanted to be like her sister and sit at His feet.

Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Author, do not worry, there are many Marthas in this world, and they are sorely needed, If there were no Marthas on this planet, the work of feeding a family would never be done. P.S. there is only one thing that you need to fix to make this post authentically biblical.
Potatoes were not served in Israel, until modern times when they could be imported from the places where they are grown.

Thank you so much Suzanne for the great information about the potatoes. I eliminated that line, I truly want this piece to have a biblical content. I appreciate your zeal for authenticity.

This is a delightfully creative depiction of the way Martha would have felt when preparing a feast for Jesus and His disciples. According to the Bible, she paid great attention to detail. This story is well written with great imagery. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Patty Palmer
Martha is working on this day to make the dinner perfectly because Jesus and His disciples are coming for dinner. She cleans and cooks all day with Jesus on her mind. Great job on this story. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from Tpa
Your essay was very creative. Nothing more can bring more tranquillity to this chaotic world than a story of Jesus that you excellently written. Although, I think the boys would rather have a glass of wine instead of a cup of tea. Good Luck.

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Is Martha your invention or is she a real person? Regardless, this is a striking story, brilliantly rendered, vivid imagery, very effective use of repetition!
