"We can’t love o...Jack, good to see you here.<br /><br />"We can’t love others properly unless we love ourselves first". So true. My sister experienced that flight attendant story years ago when her children were little. She felt aghast at it, but soon recognized that helping her children first would be disastrous for everyone in the end. A good lesson to remember.

People in ministers=y often work so diligently for their flock they forget looking after themselves or their own families. It leads to burn-out or in some cases, their own children going astray because mom and dad had no time. Thanks for this important post.

If that were so, who would have taken in the apostles when they traveled? And if that were so, how would missionaries receive any money from folks who needed help themselves? Missionaries are wonderful folks, no doubt of that. But how could they be sent if people with jobs and businesses didn't donate to them? Not all are called to leave home and serve overseas. And wouldn't it make more sense to let visiting speakers stay at believers' home than to stay at a hotel? The key is balance. Sadly, people are prone to go to extremes. Either it's extreme selfishness or extreme charity in the hope folks will notice and praise them. It reminds me of my offended rabbits who turned their backs on me and then peered over their shoulders to see if I noticed.Bruce Atchison - authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16956436260379779297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-71423663736750210302022-02-10T11:22:43.417-07:002022-02-10T11:22:43.417-07:00What a wonderful, applicable story, Jack!

Thanks for reminding us how important it is to love and care for ourselves so that we can effectively love and care for others.
