Mary and Martha Teach (II)

My Beloved Sister,

There's something more to learn from Mary and Martha. This time we'll focus on Martha. And Today's message is "Cooking and Serving is a Ministry".

I don't know why I chose this topic but we'll flow with it.

Do you remember the adage "The Way to a Man's Heart is through his stomach"? Some men agree that once they find a lady attractive, being able to cook is an added advantage. Some other men believe cooking is a way to stay in a man's heart. I know that food is a basic necessity of life. Cooking and Serving is a Ministry.

Why do I think these two are important? If you call your man a king, then he should be treated like a king. He will be expecting (and it's his right) a meal from you (Deleted "once in a while he will expect a meal from you"). But it is not the act in itself that is the ministry. It is the attitude. Not with a slave/housegirl mentality. But with an attitude of love.

When you take out time to cook and serve someone, you indirectly speak love, trust, loyalty, commitment, appreciation and value. Such things cannot be overlooked thrice. With time, the receiver reciprocates what you have spoken.

As you prepare for your king, this is the best time to learn how to prepare nice dishes. Even if you have never done it before, you can start now. Ask God to teach you the right attitude needed to prepare meals and serve them. And ask God to teach you the best ways to make your king feel special if you do not have enough time to prepare and serve the meals.

My Very Best Wishes...
