Shoveling Pollen Against the Tide

Today was a beautiful day to work around the house and yard. With our Midtown hours, it's my "Sunday."
I found myself outside planting flowers in pots and cleaning the garage. It felt good just to be home and doing "homework." There is something I found myself repeating today that I think strange. Throughout the morning, no matter what I was doing, I would periodically stop and vacuum, blow or sweep pollen out of the garage that was blowing in freely from the oak tree behind the house. I didn't shut the door. I didn't let it pile up and clean it at the end of the day. I just kept interrupting whatever I was doing to clean it up. What WAS I thinking?

But Martha was distracted by her many tasks: so she came to him and asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell  her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her." Luke 10: 40-42




Peace. Love, Linda
