S ome twenty years ago when I arrive into the United States, my first job was to work into dry-cleaning store. My bass told me he could only pay me $120 US for the week. Any time I find a better job, I can always leave and came back, but he cannot pay more. One week after getting pay. I sent $50 for my wife. $40 for my room weekly rent, $30 for my mother. I also told her to give $10 to a half brother of mine. I have nothing left. Hoping that I might get something to do on the side that week. The half brother sent and told me that any time I have any more Ten dollars do not sent any for him, and I need a gun shot under my skin. Helping unthankful islander can get you kill. It is not wise to fatten dogs so they can bite you. Leave unthankful people behind, change your phone numbers.

Disgruntle island family members who are upset that you went to foreign and did not do more for them is planning to kill you on your returning. Sending them stuff is not going to appease them. In-fact the more stuff you sent them is the angrier they became because it was not enough. One of my girlfriend sent two barrels with clothing, she sent so much codfish and oil that her family open shop. When she went down, they set up gun men to kill her it was the dogs in the home that save her life that night.

If you have to help always help the young ones that are coming up, nephews and nieces. Once they start to act like you owe them something, drop them. Island family members must be the lost ones to know where you build your house on the Island, when you return to reside they must thing you are still living in Foreign. One man was chopped up and bags up, by family members who bearing grudges that he get the chance to travel in foreign.

Luke 12:13-15 (KJV) And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. [14] And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? [15] And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

GOD DO NOT DO TOO WELL WITH UNTHANKFUL PEOPLE.

God is kind to the unthankful if the unthankful is neither a swine type nor the dog type.

Matthew 7:6 (KJV) Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Some people do not know, that they can receive a curse for trying to help people that are unthankful. You give a beggar one dollar US. As soon as you enter the store he slash your car tire, because he was insulted by the one dollar, society owe him more, If you did say no, and keep going your tire would not be slash, so now you receive a curse for your kindness. When will we learned to leave bad minded people alone with their bad mentality? The next time that beggar saw you he will shot you in the back because you insult his integrity.

A friend of mind In England sent one British pound for a friend in Jamaica. The friend in Jamaica was insulted about receiving only one pound. So he sent it back. The money arrives on a day when the man could not buy dinner for his family. He was insulted to receive the money back knowing he sent it out of his nothingness, but glad to received it back because he and his family were wondering where are they going to get food for the night.

WASTING YOUR RESOURCES UPON INGRATITUDE PEOPLE ONLY PILE UP CURSES UPON YOURSELF.

Some islanders put the letter with the money behind them and pass gas on it before opening the letter. Some curses your name and pass bad remarks if the money you sent did not full their eyes. Some uses the same money work witchcraft on you. Every time your help reaches a person and they curse your name, instead of giving thanks for you and for what they get, reward you evil for good and it affected you financially. If an unthankful person is hungry and you have food you let him eat right there, just as the scriptures said, but giving them hard cash is not good, because it will never be enough, and you only making the person became your enemy. It is better not to give, than to give, and it is regarded with contempt. It is not good to feed dogs that bite your hands.

Romans 14:16 (Living) Don't do anything that will cause criticism against yourself even though you know that what you do is right.

Romans 14:16 (KJV) Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

Rom 14:16 Don't you dare let a piece of God-blessed food become an occasion of soul-poisoning!

Mat 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Christ deals gently with those who have true grace, though they are weak in it

BARREL WITH CLOTHING.

One person told me to my face" I cannot believe it came from you because how it was mash up and looking". How do you expect a dress to look when it came into a barrel loaded down with stuff, and was in the same position for some two months?

2 Tim. 3:2 (KJV) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

2Ti 3:1 The Message Bible: Don't be naive. There are difficult times ahead. 2Ti 3:2 As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, 2Ti 3:3 dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, 2Ti 3:4 treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. 2Ti 3:5 They'll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they're animals. Stay clear of these people. 2Ti 3:6 These are the kind of people who smooth-talk themselves into the homes of unstable and needy women and take advantage of them; women who, depressed by their sinfulness, take up with every new religious fad that calls itself "truth." 2Ti 3:7 They get exploited every time and never really learn. 2Ti 3:8 These men are like those old Egyptian frauds Jannes and Jambres, who challenged Moses. They were rejects from the faith, twisted in their thinking, defying truth itself.

HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH INGRATITUDE PEOPLE

Ungrateful people are never satisfied with what they received, and behaving like you owed them something. Ungrateful people will never return a letter of thanks. Will never return a postcard, never return a phone call, they are like the dead sea, every thing must be coming to them but nothing going from them. When they want help they turn up like a hungry wandering dog, and as soon as they get the help they run away with their tail drag behind their legs still cursing their helpers.

Luke 17:17-18 (KJV) And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? [18] There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

Psalm 100:4 (KJV) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Judges 10:13 (KJV) Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.

2 Chron. 32:25 (KJV) But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

Deut. 1:27 (KJV) And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
