I have a friend who does all kinds of things for people in hopes that they will reciprocate and when they don't come thru for her she always throws up what she did for them in the past....I think she is begining to learn that when we give from abundance instead of lack that we find that our needs will be met...
She also has a huge stack of magazines that is litterly taking over her house she has never read any of them but she is saving them for when she get put into a nursing home so she will have something to read.
I asked her why doesn't she give them to a nursing home and hope that someone makes a donation of magazines when she gets put into a home. She is begining to see an element of the ridiculousness to her thinking.
Don't forget that God is always there...
