Martha has become one of the most popular and beloved characters and strikes a huge chord among women. I do believe there is a great lesson for men as well.

Jesus is traveling with his disciples and decides to call on Martha and her sister Mary. There hasn't been a date set on the calendar, invitations sent or RSVP's received. No meal planning or shopping, no time to clean the house. There is an old saying: "There is nothing a woman hates more than for someone to visit and see the house the way it usually is!"

But that's what Martha and Mary got -- no notice, no time to prepare -- just 13 house guests!
