Be hospitable to one another without complaint.I struggle with this a lot, though I try to keep the complaint internal. I know a couple of people who are frequently asking me for help, either with rides to places and/or extra money. I don't like doing this. One feels lazy, as he's gone long stints without having a job and would come to me for money or rides to the other person's place to socialize. The other is medically disabled, but not responsible with her money, and it feels like she sees me as her bailout (which makes me an excuse to not get responsible).
However, the guy is now dying of cancer; he might have a year left. After he's gone, I expect the lady will turn to me even more, as I think he's her current primary support person and friend. I know that I should help her however I can, but she really gets on my nerves, and I feel like I'm already her crutch, and likely to become her wheelchair after he's gone. But I also know I have a moral/Biblical responsibility to do what I can for her. But I still hate it, and that puts me in a gut-twisting quandry.
