The story of Mary and Martha is very thought provoking in many ways. I find comfort in the idea in Luke 10:42 that Christ is not necessarily telling Martha that Mary has chosen the good part because Martha wasn't with Him, but rather that Mary chose the good part by not being critical or Martha and how she was different. Mary and Martha's differences are also seen in how they respond to the death of Lazarus. I do believe it is true that God made all of us different and so it is ok that we all respond to situations differently. I hope that all of us can be alright with you we are and not criticizing others who are different.
