It reminds me that this isn't a battle between us and them, it is a reminder to focus on the one who loves us most. I spent alot of time afraid of God and listeneing to him for fear of rejection. But he doesn't - it is okay to sit and listen and trust Him. It's not that what we are 'doing' is wrong we just need to remember his love and grace and give him opportunity to share it with us. I am sure when Mary was reminded by Jesus to remember what was important it didn't come with chastisement but love. The same is true for us.
