As a long-time educator, today's reading immediately made me think of students who have ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder - and that maybe I have the same problem regarding spiritual matters! I so easily get caught up in trivial matters that I fail to take the time to seek God's Presence and Loving Care.
The scripture about Martha and Mary was one that we used in Sunday School this week. Mary wanted to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to Him but Martha got busy with the "trivia." She went to Jesus and asked Him to make Mary help her with the household work. Jesus kindly but firmly reminded Martha that "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better..."
What helps you most with "ADD of the spirit?" What are some things you do that can help the rest of us stay focused on our Lord? Can you identify best with Martha or Mary?
