Learning about prayer from Mary and Martha as they hosted a dinner gathering is rather a unique setting. Jesus is the guest of honour and there are challenges as there are at such a time as this.  House needs to be cleaned, getting the dishes out and set etc.

The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha! You are worried and troubled over so many things, but just one is needed. Mary has chosen the right thing, and it will not be taken away from her.” – Luke 11:41-42 GNT

Having a conversation with Jesus is more important, matters more, than a dinner party. How do I work that out in my head?
