that people have such a sense of everyone owing them something. It seems they have the attitude that if you give me something, it better be the biggest and the best with all of the frills! a couple years ago I heard a story about a family with a mom, dad and 2 or 3 kids that the dad had lost his job and the mom had some health issues. They let it be known that they could use some help for Christmas. A local help org. arrived just before Christmas to bring food and gifts to them. What they found was the family had gone to 6 or 7 churches and other orgs. and all of the brought food and gifts to them. The house was stacked with food and gifts and they didn't want to let anyone into the house so no one would figure out what they were doing. The kids asked for some very costly gifts and got most of them. I don't have any trouble helping out anyone in need, but it really burns me up when someone takes advantage of their stiuation like this family did.
