Dumping Rocks

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28, KJV). That's what Jesus told Martha that busy afternoon. "You're worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed." And what was that one thing? Not cooking or cleaning or doing good works, but knowing God. Listening to him. Leaving the Kitchen long enough to experience the intimate fellowship of the Living Room. Only then, as Martha let go of her lengthy list of to-dos and began doing the one thing that was needed, did she begin to give God what he really wants. (From "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World")

Why is it so much easier to give advice than it is to take it? Even when we know in our hearts and our head what the right thing to do is. We try to teach our children about faith, trust and patience but do we show those things by example? I want to dump my rocks, they get pretty heavy. How about you? Are you listening?
God Bless!
