Things to share

I am back from a short blogger hiatus!

I have started walking with a friend at 5:45 in the morning. We walk about 3.5 miles! It has been great for us; exercise, friendship, sharing, talking, laughing...

here is an illustration that she shared with me this morning that I thought you all might enjoy about being a Martha:

A woman stood at the bottom of the hill and was about to take off on her journey to the top. But before she could start, God stopped her and asked if she could carry three stones in her wagon, all the way to the top. The lady told God that wouldn't be a problem and she started on her way. She got about a quarter of the way up the mountain and a friend on the side of the path stopped her and asked if she could help him with a couple of his own rocks. She said yes, put them in her wagon and continued on her journey. About half way to the top someone from her church stopped her and asked if she could carry some of the church's stones. She again said yes, loaded her wagon and struggled the rest of the way to the top. When she reached the top, she saw God and she asked him, "Why did you give me so many stones to carry? There were so many stones, I didn't think I would make it. It nearly took my life just getting here." God looked at her and said, "I gave you three stones to carry. All of the other stones were put there by you."


This really hit me! What has he really asked us to do? Are we doing that? or have we tried to take on the WHOLE WORLD, something that God NEVER intended for us to do!
Have a blessed day!
