just came across that article, and it does make a lot of sense.
similar to what i read while preparing for word 2 weeks ago.
this other article stated that people tend to serve more outside than at home. for example, we gladly offer to wash the dishes at a friend's place than at home..
which was kind of true personally, i admit. its like a i don't even know why its true, strange revelation i got to know about myself thing. haha.
then it went on to talk about how we are reluctant to do it at home becos its something nobody sees, and we don't get any praise or thank you out of it (most of the time - esp if u're a mum or something). and if u serve at home like outside, that's how people can tell if u have a true servant's heart.
its as if most of us all lead 2 different lives outside and at home.
we can be like the nicest friend, but the rudest son/daughter.
in church and out.
the greatest pastor, but least caring dad.
is it just me or do you feel the same?
i guess sometimes we get too caught up with the bigger things, that we neglect the people closest to us. we take for granted that they understand. that they should understand.
even when they honestly do and try to compromise, the lack of love, care and respects still kills. everything.
