Ungrateful friend

I have a very poor friend I have been looking after for a while. I don’t have a very fancy job but it earns me enough to take care of myself and help a few people. What surprises me most about this friend of mine is that she doesn’t seem to appreciate all that I do for her. She is in college and I am paying for her fees and all the expenses of her education. Sometimes I am just demotivated when she doesn’t seem to appreciate the sacrifice I make for her. It’s not my duty to take care of her and I want her to be more appreciative. – Emily

Dear Emily

I understand how good it feels when people appreciate the good that we do for them. But it is unfortunate we are all different in our characters and you just need to accept that. Some people take things that other people do for them for granted, while others are very thankful from the inside and they just can’t show it. But one thing I need to tell you, never stop doing good because the person you are doing it for doesn’t know how to say “Thank You!”

The fulfilment and happiness we feel after giving is much more special than the recognition of the people we help. Above all, the Thank You we get from God is way more important. Know that come what may, the Almighty above will give you a special thank you for helping and taking care of those in need. So continue being nice, help a sister out no matter what. – Aunty Lisa
