Thanks for responding TX Grandma.  I like trail mix too.  I just finished reading Ruth again; she was great to stay with Naomi.  Here are my responses:

Woman from Bible you most relate to/why:  Sometimes I am like Martha scurrying around to get things just right, when I should be listening to Jesus.
I praise God for... a Christian husband, a good family growing up, being able to see people come to Him this year

[TEXASGRANDMA]

My mom and I went to a study on Mary and Martha once.  The study said that while there is a time for being like Mary and sitting at Jesus' feet there is also a time for being Martha and doing the work.  There are those who do none of the work and then they are those who are like Martha and work hard.  So don't feel badly about being like Martha.  While Jesus did say that Mary was not wrong for sitting at His feet, Jesus did not tell Martha that working was wrong either.

Ah, good point!  Both have their purpose.  We just need to pray for wisdom on when to focus on one or the other.  

What about other ladies to respond to questions?

In His love...

Praise God for...: I have been very blessed by the writings of George MacDonald, he knew the Father's heart; my family; my writing; libraries

[Willowbirch]

While Jesus did say that Mary was not wrong for sitting at His feet, Jesus did not tell Martha that working was wrong either.

Didn't He say basically the same thing to Peter, when asked what would happen to John? He took the focus away from people and questions and drew the attention to God.

Oh, how I love questions!     In a version of Enoch dating back to 200 BC, an angel asks the author why he has so many questions, and the author replies, "Because I want to know about everything!"  

[Butterflies]

wow, Willowbirch, I can honestly say I've never had a peanut butter and pickle sandwich.  Now with bananas sure. Sounds "interesting".  

I also like Gg MacDonald's books.  Those are cool vss. from Zechariah.

TX Grandma:  Oh, how much simpler/better our lives would be if we could focus on God and not ppl. so much.
So the old cliche' is true...No such thing as a stupid question?

Wildhorse and JesusIsMySavior, thanks for responding.  I like those verses too.  I hadn't really thought about Eph. 3:9 before; that's a good one to memorize.

We do have so many things to praise our God for, don't we?!

fav verse: 2 tim 3:16-17 Gods training is the best
i help out in the kitchen at my church at coffee time after church.
not too sure who i most relate to in the bible. haven't given it much thought.

[TalkerCat]

Oh gosh, let's see..... I have no children (by choice).  I love animals and tend to rescue strays.  My favorite color? Hmm... lavendar I guess, it seems I have a lot of lavendar in my wardrobe.  I love Thai food, and Chinese.  I'm also a very good cook!  My favorite meals to prepare lean toward Italian and Mexican, also "Soul Food" (blackeye peas, greens, corn bread, etc...) Favorite bible verse - that's a tough one, let me think on it.  I'm the prayer chain leader at my church (Calvary Chapel), I volunteer my secretarial skills to the pastor and his staff, I coordinate church events such as the "All church breakfast" once a month and I'm chairing the committee for the Christmas Pageant and Talent Show this year.  Sometimes I work in the nursery caring for babies during the church service.  Basically I guess you can call me a church volunteer, because if something needs to be done that I'm physically capable of doing (I'm an amputee in a wheelchair), I will volunteer my time and skill.  Favorite woman in the Bible has to be Mary Magdelaine - she washed Jesus' feet!  I can only imagine the JOY and GLORY to wash the feet of my dear SAVIOR!  And I am grateful to God for everything ... it's difficult to name my blessings one by one because there are so many!  He loves ME! Praise His Name! Glory, glory, glory! JESUS LOVES ME!  Hallelujah.  My joy is in loving Him.

Blessings -
