“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Wednesday; July 30, 2008

          When Jesus lived here on earth, He was an attraction for a lot of people; but, there were very few with whom He was close.  In addition to the core disciples, He spent a lot of time with two sisters, Mary and Martha.  One day, during His visit, Mary was sitting around listening to Him, enjoying the interaction; while Martha was busying herself with tidying up the place.  Martha tried to get Jesus to chastise Mary for not helping; but, rather than admonishing Mary, Jesus vindicated her desire to spend time with Him; because she was doing what was important.

         It’s easy to get sucked into doing the urgent tasks of life; but, we must not overlook the important – not just attending to the significant “things”; but, more importantly, spending time with the essential people in our lives.  Which is more important:  a catching a dustbunny or hugging a child, making a business appointment or making a marriage, passing one more class or passing on a heritage to the next generation?  Let’s take time to tend to our tasks; but, let’s make time to touch lives.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
