Feeling Used?

Every now and then, peoples actions, and statements, leave me feeling used, taken advantage of, and unappreciated.
How far is too far, when giving to your family, whether emotionally, financially, etc? I've never felt that anything was too far...

S. as Jesus said seventy times seven. Girl good and bad deeds and blessings are like a bank account you get out exactly what you put in with a little interest.
For ME doing good is selfish, I do good deeds, because I want MY blessings. and i KNOW the blessings will come whether my work is appreciated by man or not, to those who may not appreciate our love then they are scouring their souls, and denying themselves from blessings.
I have also seen where the bad or good name of a parent follows the child just the same the bad deeds or good deeds follow the child, (i.e. people remember what we do) so this is another reason why we need to just give..
There is rule of thumb in PR; if a customer has a bad experience multiply it by 10 but if the have a good one multiply it by 3...Lack of gratitude if you ask me.
And in life many of us are ungrateful, we simply do not know how to show appreciation for the little things, so how could we show for the big things.

S. this gives me an opportunity to check myself so I are not of the ungrateful ones... THANK YOU! I think we all should.

There is a scriptural verse that says "...to cut of my blessings, you need to tie a rope to the heavens to cut it off"

Let me just share this:

[U]GIVE THE WORLD YOUR BEST[/u]

People are illogical, unreasonable and self centered
LOVE THEM ANYWAY

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives
DO GOOD ANYWAY

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies
SUCCEED ANYWAY

The good you do taday will be forgotten tomorrow
DO GOOD ANYWAY

The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds
THINK BIG ANYWAY

People really need help, but may attack you if you help them
HELP THEM ANYWAY

peace
