I'm sorry to hear about that. I can relate a little bit to your post. A year and a half ago I had prostate cancer surgery. Fortunately it all turned out alright. After being released from the hospital I had about two months to stay home and recover.

I was attending a church regularly for three years. I didn't make very good connections at that church in all of the time I went there. I made one good friend. The first week when I got home to recover, the Pastor at the church put out a notice to volunteer to help me if the people wanted to. A few signed up to cook meals for me and deliver it to my home. That helped. I don't want to sound ungrateful but they just delivered the food and couldn't at least stay for a few minutes to ask me how I am doing. Plus, the quality of the food was not that good.

Also, some had signed up to help out with cleaning. When a time was set up to do it (and I was looking forward for them to come), they never showed up. And they didn't even call to say that they can't make it. That whole experience soured me about the people at that church.

I am a Christian and lots of times I am baffled as to why some so-called Christians do things like that. To me it would be like blaspheme to make a promise to someone in need and then not follow through. I couldn't look at myself and even face the Lord if I did something like that.
