Poem October 9, 2017 Issue

choosing the good part

(Luke 10:38–42)

Joni Overton-Jung

© JUPITERIMAGES/BANANASTOCK/THINKSTOCK

are you careful
and troubled
about many things?

one thing
one thing alone
is needful

seek God first*
this can’t be taken from you

let your ministrations
be by angels

tending to your hands
your heart
your every thought

every task
a benediction
every action
reflecting Love

—Joni Overton-Jung

*See Matthew 6:33
