The bottom line is — if you truly believe the Christian faith, it has to change the way that you treat other people and you should want to go out of your way to want to help people. Not as a way to save yourself, but as a reflection back of Christ’s love for us.

And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

My spouse’s family, who is local and always busy helping my spouse’s siblings and their kids, told us recently that they’d pray for us as we packed up to go to the hospital. Not, we will meet you there, we will cook for you, we will see you back home to help things get situated. Just prayers and social media posts.
I’m so angry and disgusted. We’ve asked for support so many times, and thought that a valid thing to ask since our child is just a little tiny human that needs a community, and because my spouse’s family drops everything for their other grand kids. How can you call yourself religious or Christian and do this? No, they don’t owe us anything. But really, if you can’t offer love in a life and death situation, what’s it all for? Help me understand. I don’t want your prayers.
