Our sponsor Jane Martin is here today with a thought provoking quiz for us. She’s asking “are you a Mary or a Martha?”
I think it’s a good thing to consider, Martha was a wonderful hostess, and did everything she could to make her guests happy. Yet Jasus said that Mary had chosen the better thing.
Overall, would you say that you tend to be a worrier?
Would you say that it’s easy for you to see others faults?
Are You a Mary or a Martha:

How many times in our lives do we get so caught up in trying to do God’s work that we forget that it’s all about the relationships – our relationships with others, but more importantly, our relationship with God.
To build good relationships, we need to spend time together. It’s no different with Jesus, we need to spend time in prayer and in God’s Word, to spend time in quiet, listening for the message God has for us.

I’m mostly a Mary I see. I have some Martha tendencies, but I’m really learning to be more like Mary.
I think I have both in balance for most part when it comes to my son 🙂 but when it comes to my husband I have to say I m more Martha.Guess I have to loosen up 🙂

I am mostly a Martha. It looks like a have a little bit in common with modern day Mary though. 🙂
My Mary just barely edges out my Martha. 🙂
I was a even balance of both, so that’s good I guess
Sounds good to me 🙂
I am a little bit of both. I really enjoy this website, thank you for the guidance and wonderful uplifting blogs.
I’m more Mary than Martha by 8 points and Martha 3 points.
some of both but a lot of Mary except lately it has been a lot of Martha.
I lean more to the Martha side.
I really enjoyed reading about Martha & Mary. I like to believe and I strive to be an equal balance of both. I lack Martha somewhat in the last few years.
Thank you for this website. God bless
I’m am a Martha and knew that before I even answered the questions. I’ve always been the nurturing type and pretty others before myself. Although I have glimpses of Mary that shine through my Martha.
