This telling of Mary, Martha & Lazarus really reminded me of some truths about Jesus and God's love towards me. Its good to imagine some of what it would have been like for them as a family in those days.

I loved this quote from Up From Dust
"And why the feather," Martha asked.
“I asked him that when he gave it to me. He said it was a reminder that Yahweh would cover me with his opinions, and under his wings I would find refuge.”
I really loved this story about Martha and her siblings. It gives us a deeper insight as to what their thoughts and lives might have been like.
Miss Kaufman has done a remarkable job in bringing this biblical story to life and I enjoyed every minute of it.
I think my favorite character is Lazarus.
I enjoyed in getting to know him and I loved his absent-minded ways. I sometimes laughed at him and other times I wanted to shake him for aggravating his older sister Martha.
Martha is bossy and she tries so hard to keep her family together and I really admired her for that.
Here's another quote
“Beacons of light,” I mused. “Yahweh keeps providing beacons of light in your life to guide you when you need it most. First Jesus, then Meir.”“And then you,” he murmured. "It's been a winding path."
