Martha and Mary

Luke 10:38-42 (King James Version)
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Character study on Martha:
In Luke 10:38-42, Martha talked to Jesus and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me. It seems that Martha would get distracted by preparations. She loved Jesus, but it was easy to get distracted. Words that describe Martha are demanding, questioning, loving.

Character study on Mary:
Mary sat at the Lord's feet and listened to everything He said. Jesus was very important to her. Here are some words describing Mary...loving, good, attentive. In Luke 10:38-42, Mary did not talk. She listened.

In comparing Mary and Martha, I feel that they were very different from each other. Martha pretty much yelled at Jesus, while Mary was sitting quietly at His feet.

I think I am most like Mary, although I have my Martha moments. Who do you feel you are most like?
