Again, no one was upset, and they requested more help from me. "Will you help me organise my cupboards?" "How do you think I should set up the nursery?" "If the dish fairy came to do my dishes again that would be great." Trust me, I know these people, and they were not insulted, angry, etc. They still make comments to this very day like "I'm so glad you did that for me, cause honestly I don't think I'd ever get to it."

On the contrary, they invited me over far more often.

"If the dish fairy came to do my dishes again that would be great". That's a blatant hint if ever I saw one. Meaning they'll let the dishes build up until you come over again and do them for them.

"On the contrary, they invited me over far more often". OF COURSE they did. And I'll bet they had something sitting there each time, waiting for you to do it..

You're allowing yourself to be used, Faith. Because they KNOW you'll do it, simply because you're an eager beaver desperate to please God and others.

You truly have a sweet heart and mean well. I'd challenge you to only help in cleaning up the dishes or table when the Lord puts it on your heart to do so. Cleaning other parts of the house is unnecessary in most circumstances. Don't do it because it's "expected" or because you are worried about feelings or what others would think of you.

We live in a time of entitlement and these acts of kindness that are coming from love, don't always help. Be careful. Pray and ask the Lord when you should do things for others. If you don't feel his leading, pass on the cleaning. The Lord will put it on your heart if you need to.

You have a servants heart and it seems to me, you want to do these things for others, so go out into your community and help at a soup kitchen, church events, a library, a food pantry etc. and help in those areas.

I pray that the Lord guide and direct you in this area of your life. That He blesses you for resting in him and learning how to help and serve others in new ways. Lean on Him for strength and direction.

My brother does need help. He took many experimental drugs in the army that messed him up, he should sue, cause he wasn't like that before..

So are you saying your brother experimented with many drugs while enlisted in the army?

OneFaith said:
Yes, it was post traumatic stress disorder, but also the experimental drugs they did on him

Oh ok, so you are saying you have personal knowledge that the Army used experimental drugs on your brother? Did your brother have mental issues or did they use the experimental drugs on your brother by force?
