Martha page 2 by ric gustafson
Lazarus walked into the courtyard with twigs. He put them on the fire. Martha watched her younger sister put fresh milk on the table. At times, she has gotten too cross with Mary. She regretted that.
When sunset came, Martha lit the Sabbath candles. When the shofar blew three times, the Sabbath began.
The next morning, the family walked to Jerusalem for Sabbath prayers. There they met their friend Nathan the blacksmith. Nathan and his wife Rhoda had no children.
That night, Martha closed her eyes for a good night's sleep.
The wheat harvest was to start the next day.
