Tribute to an Ordinary Woman

Today is was the feast of St. Martha.

I wrote a whole blog post in my head during Mass this morning.

Then life got in the way. Hectically so.

I haven't had time to write anything.

Hopefully, I'll find the time. Soon.

This weekend?

If I don't, that's ok. It means God does not will it.

And that's ok.

He's in charge, afterall.

Yet if I don't find the time, or the inspiration I had during Mass, I wanted to leave you with an impromtu photo of my fresh farm eggs and remind you that:

Martha was a very ordinary woman.

Just an ordinary housekeeper who kept house and  cared for her family.

Just a woman who cooked and mended and complained (sometimes).

She didn't do anything great. She didn't die a martyr's death.

But she became a saint by making daily work her life's prayer... and serving the Lord.
