317. The Martha and Mary Balance: Blending Action and Contemplation

Opening Bible verse: Luke 10: 38-42 We all have stuff we need to get done. That's our Martha side. Mary is just sitting at the feet of Jesus appearing to be doing nothing. Yet, Jesus said that Mary has chosen the better option. What's a girl to do!?!?  Yes, we have to run our homes and get stuff done but none of that can be taken with us when we depart this earth. What we can take with us is our spiritual life. So we must make time for this. Everyday, we must pause our work and sit at the feet of Jesus to learn from Him, to hear what He has to say to us, to give our response.  In 2026 we are working through my group coaching program via the podcast. This is your first assignment. To create a morning prayer routine. Get up before your family and pray a rosary or some other exercise that will increase your relationship with God. Mary is playing the long game, the eternal game. In 2026, choose the long game as often as possible in your housework and in your spiritual life.    ***Are you so overwhelmed with clutter that you find yourself unable to make any decisions?
