"Charity Begins at Home"
All other hospitality or generosity to others is important -- but family comes first. We got the best advice years ago from our parish priest in regard to some indecision we had about extending ourselves to help out another family in need. He said: if it destroys the peace of your own family, don't do it. Find another way to help -- or just pray. Which is sometimes the best thing we can do anyway. As parents, our first responsibility is to our own spouse and children.
