Mary and Martha were blessed to have Jesus and his crew stop by their home in Bethany. Martha was distracted by all things hosting, while Mary was distracted by Jesus' words. She sat at his feet and soaked it all in, while Martha fumed. They had to say goodbye to Jesus that night, but those of us who have the Holy Spirit never have to have to hang up the phone. Abide means remain. Remain means don't hang up. Stay in constant connection all day long, like a branch never unplugs from the Vine.
