Stop!

Stop Grace! STOP!!! Stop!!!!! Stop panicking. Stop over anticipating the next thing and not focussing properly at the task at hand. Stop! Stop washing the dishes and pay attention to hubby! Stop running around and take some time to pray- to really pray. Not to just do those things of yours of as if giving God a list on your way to the bus. Nawe... STOP!!! You know He really gives you perspective.

I have been such a busy body. Moving from one thing to the next only to realise that there are still other things that are undone. Almost always feeling tired, getting headaches- many times way before I am even half way the tasks! The husband has been his lovely self and even cooked dinner twice last week. Yes, God bless him.

I was reminded the story of Mary and Martha(Lk 10:38 - 42). Jesus actually said:

 “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, ⁴² but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Eh! I was a bit upset with Jesus' reaction. As if he can't see that the house needs cleaning, food needs cooking, vegetables need cutting, someone has to make the bed for the visitor!!! Mary just sat there enjoying!!

I pray that amidst the hustle and bustle of life, I may not lose sight of what is truly important.
