    She was physically alive but mentally and emotionally dead. Mary got separated from two of her children and was left with the youngest who was wounded and died shortly there after in Mary’s hand due to lack of medical attention. Mary learned that her elder daughter was held in the town that she was but never saw her. She continued with the Indians on their journey through the wilderness, barely surviving what is now her life. The Indians had stopped at many towns that they conquered, selling the settlers from Lancaster to different sannups and squaws (husband and wife respectively). This was exhausting for Mary as she had to be moving often with different masters each time. She finally saw her son as he was held captive at a settlement that was close by and again was separated shortly thereafter from him. She felt as if the journey was never ending and life was no longer important to her; “When I was returned, I found myself as unsatisfied as I was before […] my sprit was ready to sink with the thoughts of my poor children.”…

    This specific type of narrative was so we could see how they are just every day people like us who struggle with which subject is more important: service to Christ or worship to Christ. Mary wanted to sit as Christ’s feet and worship Him because she cared about what was happening now, not like Martha who was worried about things that did not matter in comparison to Christ. So, when Martha becomes upset at Martha for not helping her in verse 40 saying, “’Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” (New International Version Bible). According to Keck, when Mary goes to worship Christ instead of helping Martha she violates “a clear social boundary [and] she is bringing shame upon her house” (231). We can see here it must have been a social understanding and practice that the women of the house would have prepared a meal and the house for…
