I’ve been back to work now for about a week and a 1/2 and it hasn’t been easy. I came back to work only a week and a 1/2 after I broke my back and sooner than my doctor would have liked. I guess I was naively thinking my coworkers would help me out more than they have. I don’t want a lot of help or anything, just a little help holding something if it’s too heavy or pushing a cart for me instead of making me push it across the street the week I get back (but that’s another story). Anyway, one of them even told me “It happened a week ago, it’s old, you should be fine now”. Yes because a broken bone DOES heal in a weeks time!! and I have 4 broken bones with three fractures in just one of the bones. Needless to say It’s been a frustrating time the last week. I’m just sick of the pain and I can’t take pain meds at work so it’s double the pain while I’m working and then to have no help whatsoever doesn’t help. Anyway, that is what spurs my question. This is kind of the straw that broke the camels back, there have been different things and situations happening and then last week just kind of topped it off…sorry i’m being vague but I don’t want to get into it all. Now this may get a little confusing so stay with me– here’s my question: There is only so much a person can take, when you give everything and try your best but then never get reciprocation, it’s hard and eventually it gets you down. So, as Christians, how much do we take, how far do we go and never get anything in return…or do we ever stop? I want to keep giving my all and never stop but it wears you down when you do that and never feel appreciated or valued. I know God would never want you to stop doing that even if you feel nothing in return, because we as Christians should always show the love and share that with others. So basically I think I just answered my own question, I guess it just helped to type it out! But please feel free to give me your input or opinion
