. . . and a woman named Martha received him into her house. Luke 10:38
Receive me, Lord, as Martha
once received you. It’s okay
if you nag, complain about
what’s not getting done.
I need that. But I also need
the one thing needful,
that good portion you dish up
on a regular basis.
So, don’t get too
anxious about me.
I’ll calm down if you will.
And I know you will.
