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://maxioms.com/maxiom/6520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage should be a duet-when one sings, the other claps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage should be a duet-when one sings, the other claps.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were all ready to play.
