Once I ran into a relative by marriage at the grocery store. She told me there was a sale on lobster and she was going to get several. Since I knew she was on food stamps as a result of being an unemployed drug addict became resentful because I never, in my long lifetime, had been able to afford lobster. It was all I could do to say, Oh, that’s nice. I think I steamed going home. However, I later learned that she gave all the lobsters to her parents as a thank you for taking care of her toddler daughter any time she was too incapable of doing so. I immediately regretted my harsh thoughts at the store and realized she was not bragging but showing empathy for her parents. But I still wished I could have purchased lobster. How should I have better handled this incident?

What would you do in this type of situation 🤔 😕 😐 😒

The Weight of True Love ❤️ Love is one of the most overused and misunderstood words in our world. We use it for everything from comfort foods to covenant promises—and somewhere in that tangle of emotions, disappointments, and expectations, the true meaning of love gets lost. But if we pause long enough to examine it, we begin to see the layers. Maternal Love, Familial Love… and Obligation A mother’s love can be fierce and sacrificial. Family love is the bond we’re born into. Yet many people carry deep wounds—abandonment, betrayal, manipulation, or relationships built more on duty than genuine affection. These experiences shape how we define love and what we think we deserve. Camaraderie, Friendship, and “Besties” Friendship is precious—laughter, shared history, the comfort of being known. But friendships can fracture, fade, or prove conditional. We all know the ache of someone who promised to stay… and didn’t. Lust and Romance Romance is powerful and intoxicating, but it is often confused with infatuation or need. It can be beautiful, but it can also be fragile, temporary, and centered on emotions that shift like sand. These are all forms of human love—real, but imperfect. And in a world soaked with selfishness, abuse, cruelty, and spiritual darkness, many people stop trusting love altogether. They’ve been hurt too deeply. Manipulated too often. Disappointed too many times. So when they hear about God’s love, they compare it to the broken love they’ve known… and they struggle to believe it. But Agape is different. ⸻ Agape: The Highest Form of Love Agape is not desire. It is not emotion. It is not obligation. Agape is God’s perfect, unstoppable, self-sacrificing love for humanity. It is steadfast. Unchanging. Not dependent on our worthiness. Not withheld when we fail. And Agape was not proven in a poem or a feeling. It was proven in blood. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Love #God #Jesus #TrueLove #Help #Afterlife #Bible

#LowIncomeStruggles back in the 80s I divorced my abusive husband had 3 little girls. To get back at me decided wasn't paying child support except 1 week a month. Back then in that state that was enough to keep you out of the courts. I was born here my mom and dad were born here, but I was too poor for food stamps. He wouldn't sign that I got any support so no stamps. They wanted me to sign up for welfare I was raised up not to be on it, so they would give me welfare but no food for my kids told them to take it and shove it. So being to poor is not new!
