The greatest gift someone could give me is showing appreciation. I have never been appreciated no matter my level of kindness. Rather I will be accused falsely crucified and condemned. There was a situation that I remembered vividly my husband’s friend got married and his wife gave birth to a baby boy. I bought a beautiful expensive stroller for their baby,diapers ,baby clothes and baby wipes.We attended the naming ceremony presented our gift and there was no thank you.
One day she talked about how beautiful the stroller was and claimed that it was given to her by a jobless woman that cannot afford those items. When I tried to explain that I gave those gift.She replied oh I thought that it was given to me by Mrs TNZY.She is not the only one that is just my destiny. I attended a wedding of my brother inlaw even though I was instructed not to attend. Upon arrival the wife of my brother inlaw labeled me immediately and relegated me to background. She did not care that I spent seven to eight hours on the road just to attend the wedding. I took pictures with other guests at the wedding and when the pictures came out she destroyed every picture that I was in.And she had the audacity to let me know that she destroyed my pictures.
I have helped same brother inlaw and his wife indirectly assisted in paying their rent and supported their children in school but they never appreciated me .I gave my mother inlaw money that she used to support them especially paying their rent. They pretend as if we have been fighting for years even though we have not exchanged words since we came into the family. On my side my brother became Oliver Twist” I want some more”.He believes that he is entitled. I am not sure if he is still Oliver Twist because I don’t pay attention anymore. I am just tired of been drained.
I keep the house clean provided money,gifts ,enough foods and drinks when my sister inlaw visited.But when I visited them their bathroom was dirty,smelled very bad and no food for me.I wanted to pass the night but it was too dirty so I slept in a hotel. I expected some return favor to show gratitude or appreciation for what I did for her in the past.She think she is entitled and do not need to show appreciation. After every of my kindness I ended up with a curse and no evidence of appreciation. I still show kindness to people but I don’t expect thank you or gratitude from anyone anymore. I prefer to surrender it to God for God’s gift is the best.
