The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Luke 10:38-42, “Now as they were traveling along, He entered a certain village;

and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

39 And she had a sister called Mary, who moreover was listening to the Lord’s Word,

seated at His feet.

40 But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him,

and said, ‘Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone?

Then tell her to help me.’

41 But the Lord answered and said to her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and

bothered about so many things;

42 but only a few things are necessary, really only one, for Mary has chosen the

good part, which shall not be taken away from her.’”

I know that’s a longer passage that I usually give you, but you’re

all good readers. The key message is quite simple: some things

are very important; some things are not. So, the question each of

us must face every day is: Is what I am doing the most important?

Martha was concerned about the physical –dinner. Mary was more

concerned about the spiritual –the words of Jesus. What is your

focus for today? Read the Word every day and let the Holy Spirit

speak to you about what is important for your life. Of course, you

have work obligations. But within those obligations, what is the

LORD’s directive for you today?

We love you and are praying for you today,
