Thought in the back of my mind...

Dishes, for company.

There is a thought
that has been
percolating
for days.


It has drifted
in while
I folded laundry...


As I walked
to the
mail box,
it sails through my mind.





It appears sometimes
when I am
lost in
ironing.


I pause...
consider,
continue,
picking
dust bunnies up from the floor.

Then..again,
I wonder.


When Martha,
complained to Jesus,
about her sister,
seemingly slacking,
did he help her with
the dishes?


                                       
Did our Lord,
gather up the food,
as he gathered those
around him?

I hope,
he did.
I imagine he did.

I hope he stood there...
taking each dish
from her tired hands,
wiping it off,
while,
soothing her spirit,
with love.*



* This thought first came to my attention via my daughter, she shared that she hoped this was the case. From the moment she said this, I have had this thought circling through my mind.
