Do good deeds go unrewarded?
Sometimes I feel like I am climbing uphill with no chance of ever reaching the top. I am not a complainer, I really try not to be. I know there are people who have it far worse than me. I just can't help but wish for once to get the lucky break. Do you know someone who no matter what happens in life they always land on their feet? They don't deserve it, they don't work for it, they do nothing yet somehow they just always get what they need? It's the most frustrating thing in the world to sit and watch this person. To know that every day I white knuckle my way through 12 hours, barely hanging on. I literally bust my ass caring for sick people, really sick helpless people. I don't even make enough to pay my bills. I reach one tiny goal only to have the rug pulled out from under me, while this person is waving from the beach-martini in hand. I can swim forever and never get there. ( A little joke, but that's what it feels like.) Maybe this is God's cruel joke on me. My lesson in life. He gives me someone close to me and makes them every single thing I can't really stand about humanity. God, who loves me(I am reminding myself) gives me this person, to frustrate and test me every day. I guess my lesson is to figure out why? No matter what I will never understand that way of living. Yes, I guess it would be easier. Maybe, for one day, it would be nice just to skate by doing the least possible, to accept all the help I can get from others. Play the helpless victim in distress, just to see what I can get done FOR me. To just take,take, take and never give or give a damn about the people that I am using up in the process. But I know I could never do it-I could never be that person. So I guess I will continue to work hard, pray, and white knuckle my way through life. I will hope against hope that adversity does actually build character. If that is the case than I will be the most wealthy......

I'm understand how you feel, more than you know. Know that you are not alone. I'm keeping you in my prayers (because that's all I can afford right now, LOL!).
