Abandoned...

I would like to start this blog with a disclaimer that the truth is hard sometimes but it's the truth non the less...

How can a man or woman walk off from their own families to take up residence and care of another, while your blood family goes without??...Without your presence, without your care, without your support...It's like the needs of your own family mean absolutely nothing...Throw a little cash here or there and act like that is the end of your responsibility...I know when your children leave home they become responsible for their own lives, but I dare say that there isn't one person that hasn't needed the help and support of their extended family sometime in their life...Allot of couples get a good start in life because their family helped them get a step up on their way to adult responsibilities...If the Lord wills that I live to a ripe old age or he comes I will never for the life of me understand how you can forget your own family and go your own selfish ways...I hope and pray that God's grace and mercy and my own decisions will never allow me to ever get that selfish...How can a man or woman live with themselves who neglect their responsibility to their own children??? Our greatest ministry is at home...To keep a home for them, to provide shelter, food, clothing, care of their basic needs...Some people in the USA live like 3rd world country...I have been accused of being too particular when it comes to my home and yet I am glad I was and would be again if I had a home of my own...I cared for my children enough for them to be a priority in my life...I wanted them fed, clothed, sheltered, secured and so many other things that are more important, but wasn't able to provide all on my own...Such as a husband who loved and respected their mother, who loved her and the children above all of his own selfish needs...I still want that...And I believe my children do too...Keeping my home clean, organized and livable was a joy...I enjoyed cooking when it wasn't a struggle to please the picky one in the family...Take time to appreciate the mundane things of life, for you are raising another generation to love, honor and cherish their own family some day...And if you aren't doing these things, you will reap that also...I am truly thankful that God doesn't abandon, true family and friends don't either...
