sunday's challenge-what if?

What if instead of hearing Jesus scolding Martha for being busy, what if instead we hear Jesus encouraging Martha to take a break? To give herself permission to rest. To sit. To listen. To go slow. 
What if we heard it as a reminder instead of as a reprimand?
Yes. The laundry has to get done, dinner has to be considered, and deadlines are real things.
But first, always first, go back to the source. Lean in a little closer. Wait a little longer. Breathe a little deeper.Be.
