Forge Fellowship // Manhood Requires Brotherhood day 3

1 Timothy 5:8 - Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
This made me think a lot about my Mother, she consistently places my Father and I ahead as more important than herself. She's the only one of us who grew up in a nurturing white neighbourhood where words of Affirmation was common place. In this household, this is not the case. My Father and and I typically don't thank or congratulate each other for what is initially expected of us. While I perform my duties by doing chores, showing a respective attitude etc, I doubt this is enough to make my Mother satisfied. Loving words is a foreign language to me, unless it's said in my banter  (which would be very inappropriate in a Christian household), I'm not sure how this can change except to willingly put myself in uncomfortable situations. 

As for her family, majority being alcoholic bogans who I see on average once a year, I've never been motivated or made effort into being vocally gospel to them. They might be uncomfortable or offended with my views especially since we never see each other, this truth is for their benefit. I don't contribute to my family very well.
