The details :: In the Word Wednesday

How many of us are running around this christmas season trying to make things "just so"?  We want the gifts to be perfect, the tree to be decorated perfectly, the food to be delicious, the house to be spotless, the cards to go out on time (and look perfect), the clothes to be nice... we want all the details to be just right. 

How much time do we spend on getting those details just right though?  And how much time are we spending with God?  Which one is more important?  Or I guess another way to put it... which one will last forever?

It's ok to get the details right, just make sure you are spending time with God too, that the time you would normally spend with him isn't getting pushed to the side while you go hang garland.

See Luke 40:41-42
"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed.  Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her"
