Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind, And when I black the boots and shoes, Thy sandals, Lord, I find. I think of how they trod the earth, what time I scrub the floor: Accept this meditation, Lord, I haven't time for more. Warm all the kitchen with Thy love, and light it with Thy peace; Forgive me all my worrying, and make my grumbling cease. Thou who didst love to give men food, in room or by the sea, Accept this service that I do -- I do it unto Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever feels pain in hearing a good character of his neighbor, will feel a pleasure in the reverse.
