Humble abuse

Where's the line between being a humble servant and just being taken advantage of?  Or mayber there is no line?  Or maybe the notion of being taken advantage of is really a failure to be totally humble in my service?  I don't really know but it is stinkin hard sometimes.

I didn't buy a big so I could watch it by myself.  Likewise I would gladly share any of my food or snacks, my guitar, my movies, I love giving rides to people who need them.

But...

Maybe it is my own sinful pride and wanting to be given some kind of respect that I don't deserve.  I think I'm pretty patient but I do have my limit.  To come over to my home because theres a basketball game is a privelage not a right.  Eating my food is something I'll let anyone do but please ask.  I'd love to give anyone a ride but don't show up at my door and ask.  Just because you know someone will do something for you, its courteous to ask anyway.

I love Mark, He called me to borrow a movie and assured me he would bring it back.  Of course I'll let him borrow it and its nice that he would ask.

Most are respectful and grateful.

I need to be patient and loving
