THE FEET OF JESUS!

This makes so much sense to me, and could quite possibly
become my new testimony!
As a little girl, when I stayed at my grandmother's and
learned all about Jesus and His word, I was so content!
I loved it and was probably in my "Mary" time of life.
I didn't worry about doing anything, for I was more
concerned about loving my Lord!
When I married; had children, and joined all those
committees that you "have" to join, I found myself in my
"Martha" time of life. I was active in everything,and
quickly learned to do the" casserole thing";attended Bible
study's;joined clubs; taught school...... I did so much
" stuff" with everybody!I was an expert multi- tasker!
In my Physical Education classes I loved doing stunts with
the smaller children,because I was physically able.
I taught tumbling; creative dance; and gymnastics to all
ages and loved doing it!
I owned Lock, Stock& Barrel, where I painted on clothing
and loved doing it! I started Project Graduation in Aiken,
and it has been going like wildfire ever since!
God gave me the strength to do so much for so many
people and things at this time, so it was only natural
for me to be in my "Martha's time of life now.
Infact, most of my life was spent in this time frame, and
I did enjoy it, but I would say I wasn't content.
As the years have passed, and a little more grey has
found its way into my hair, and my steps are a little
slower, I find that God has graciously drawn me back
to my "Mary" time of life once again!
I find I can't do those things anymore, that I once did,
in my Martha time of life, but God has given me the
grace and contentment to accept that.
I am relishing that time once again, where I can sit at
the feet of Jesus and just love Him!
I am content once again in my "Mary" time of life.
I have come home!
