Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Luke 10:40 

Families are meant to care for one another and support one another. But family arguments can start at an early age between siblings and may even surface at the most inopportune of times—like when a loved one dies, and all that can be considered is who gets what and who deserves the most. We want special favors, like Martha who wants Jesus to tell Mary to help her in the kitchen. But there is more brewing here in Martha’s spirit than meets the eye. 

Jesus calls them “distractions,” taking our eyes off the prize—his death and resurrection, our freedom and our life. Truth be known, with Jesus in our midst, all the work is never left for us to do by ourselves. Indeed, there is work that he does that we could never do, and there are riches that he gives us that we could never achieve or deserve. That is where our tasks begin and end.
