Merry Christmas!
Now, onto the rant of the day. I feel that life really is a two-way street, and if you aren't giving you don't deserve to receive. This all stemmed from not only one, but multiple messages my mom received recently. They were from a friend asking my mom to send some of our Christmas dinner home with her roommate. Not only that, but also any "goodies" we have left over. This usually wouldn't be a problem, but we have already given them one tray of "goodies" that we made especially for them and that wasn't even a week ago.
But it's the latest message that has really gotten to me...
"Only you have enough to feed your family..."
I have a heart, don't get me wrong, but these are two people that receive state aid, yet they can't feed themselves? I feel as if these people think that my parents owe them something... Maybe it's because their family, but it surely isn't because they have done SOOOO much for my parents, because believe me... they haven't.
And in all honesty, my parents owe them NOTHING!
Now, this is Christmas and we will send food home, IF there is any left over, but it's just not something I can comprehend that easily. She's going to be with her family, yet OUR family has to feed her? She owes my mom money, yet we have to give her food? I just don't get it.
I love her to death...
but she needs to quit relying on people so much.
I keep asking God to help me with these feelings, but all I keep getting in return from Him is the message that He's showing me how NOT to act when I grow up...
So Thank you Lord, for giving me one more life lesson to live by.

Again,
Merry Christmas.
