Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Luke 10:38–39
True charity is bettering the lives of those around us. Think of the gestures and actions you can take within your own family to add joy and comfort to their lives, whether it is preparing a favorite meal or spending extra time cleaning around the house. You may be called by God like Martha to work hard to provide joy and comfort or like Mary to be fed by the Lord. Know that both callings are important and you should rejoice to provide joy and comfort if God is calling you in that direction and rejoice if he is calling you to be fed by His Words.
