Life is so busy these days I think it is so easy to forget to do deeds out side of the family. Even in church, you have the same people sticking up their hands while everyone else sits back.
Although I love all of my church family I have to say I was disappointed at Christmas. We had one guy in our church wanting to do a dinner for people who couldn't afford a nice meal for Cristmas day and asked me to help, I didn't think it was a bad idea and said, sure.
One week from Christmas I asked him what was happening and I was told only 3 people agreed to help. Out of a church of 200 people that was poor.
I don't think anyone was thinking of being selfish but in life and at that time of year people are thinking of their own family and don't want to take too much time from that.
Sad really
