Are not people of faith supposed to behave in a certain manner.

What do you do when feelings impact actions.?

Like giving support. Caring for another, supporting, visiting , being family.

Never lend nor borrow money so that not in these measurements.

Talking here about 2 things. Feelings. plus Actions.

This week l made a decision that my actions would over rule my feelings.

Elderly wanted me to visit them on caravan park, they have health plus `mindlessness issues`, and tell few porkies...(Smallish Lies).

Decided on those priority to stay out of the zone. Became inactive.

Then made decision , my choice to be inactive with this individual, Really l was making decision to not expose myself to the issues they hold.

Why?

Are not people of faith supposed to behave in a certain manner.

Are we supposed to sacrifice, Its 'a spiritual gift. These sacrifices get frustrating as we spend less time on ourselves, then impact our emotional, physical further leisurely well being. 

Time is a factor all of us only have limited amount.

Deep Question around how do we manage time.

Then we start to ask who are we past this sacrifice?..this time giving..this priority?

Some people like you may have decided that this is your way of giving back...but where is the ending?

What is the care-plan for you!

Whose going to explain that you look scruffy, unkempt, more health problems because the giving has no end time. Begin to feel like we are bad people, ungrateful for having those we care for in our lives. 

Perhaps this relationship had always been problematic. now you feel trapped. Know someone whose married someone after only 2 weeks, having not had very good relations with own children this client told myself.."This was a moment to show l could care for someone vulnerable."

Helping others is not about your self worth, nor should it be a sense of Duty, Religious or otherwise.

It should not be making you unhappy.

So seek support. Express to the receiver that you have a cut off period. Do the caring because you want to.

Talk, Converse. Get yourself a good listening too.

You at least deserve that.

However difficult get some `well-being` into your plans, You should share the load.
