If Martha too were to sit at the Lord’s feet, then who would do the chores? If Mary were to join Martha in cooking and serving, who would sit at the Lord’s feet? Choosing between Martha and Mary is difficult. What do we do?
Perhaps we can gain much by combining both the roles within us, instead of dividing them between us. We can busy ourselves with the daily chores, all the while keeping our heart resting at the feet of the Lord. We can plunge into the world of action while remaining centered on the Lord. We can be thoroughly active in the world with a contemplative heart. We can play Martha while being Mary, and vice versa.
