I’ve given some
thought to making my topic material shorter so you can read it and absorb the
message must faster. In that vein I’m
making the blog posts here and in the future around 300 to 400 words. Enjoy!
There are times
when you want to do so many things but the time, money or circumstances just do
not permit it. We have all had those
types of things occur within our lives.
We all have to make decisions every day that require some sacrifices
within our lives.
You can have
THIS, but not THAT! You know the types
of situations that I’m talking about. It
may occur when you want to lose weight.
Do I eat this or that? Can I
include this piece of dessert on my diet or not? Other situations also make us choose between
this and that. It becomes very difficult
when these situations involve people, especially our relatives.
Have you ever
been torn between the ideas of: Should I help my relative do this? Or should I
let them fend for themselves? At what
point do I stop being a help to them or only becoming a crutch for them to lean
on and continue their lifestyle?
Sometimes this
can be a very delicate situation. If I
help this person what do I do when another person comes to me and wants me to
help them? If I give in to certain
demands can I ever make a strong stand in another situation?
Many questions
will probably come to your mind. You may
also have to consider if you help one of your relatives in their situation how
does this affect your relationship with other family members? This can become very “sticky” when the
situation involves, for example, a grandparent and their grandchild. If the grandparent helps the child, how are
the child’s parents going to react, that is the grandparents’ child?
It can unfortunately end in hurt feelings all
around. The relationships may become so
torn apart that reconciliation appears to be impossible. The hurt and the pain may continue for years
into the future. But we have to remember
that ALL of us are only human. We’re
bound to make mistakes and bad decisions throughout our lives.
