I need pray for encouragement. I feel my family don't respect me enought even though i'm the one who carries the load for them. I'm the oldest child and have taken care of people for as long as i can remember. I have know children but very seldom have had my house to myself. I had a mother and sister past about 6 years ago the day my mama went into the hospital I haven't had a day to myself sence. im taking care of a 40 something brother with no income and a nephews son 16 with only 200 a month from his dad. I don't mind helping but sometimes i get tired and need encouragement. Pray for me brothers and sisters. Thank you and God bless.

It is good to take care of people who can’t take care of themselves, if you can afford it. As for people who can take care of themselves but won’t, I see no reason for you to take care of them. It sounds like you are a very noble person. Don’t let people take advantage of you.

Just a thought, here. Don't give what you don't have, and don't give what you will later resent. The Bible tells us to bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ, but it also says to carry your own napsake. Don't carry someone's load that is able to carry it themselves.
