Crucial ingredient

by Brandy Ferguson

You have all the ingredients to prepare the most delectable dinner.  You’ve studied the recipe, planned the steps, and scoured your grocery list at least three times before leaving the grocery store.  Now it’s time for preparation! 

The guests will soon arrive, so you scramble about the kitchen at top speed, shooing people out of your way.  Your loved one enters your circus of culinary contraptions and you expressly alert them that you don’t have time to stop.

Only moments later is the time when your movements go from whirring about in sequential order preparing the meal to … dead still!

You’re missing the one crucial ingredient. 

‘How could I have missed it?’ you ask yourself.

"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered,

"You are worried and upset about many things,

but only one thing is needed.

Mary has chosen what is better, and

it will not be taken away from her."

Luke 10:41 (NIV)
