Good Bye

1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”

There's a house and you own it. Within your house you pay the bills, you buy the groceries, your name is on the deed and so you decide who can come and who can go, all because it's your house. You invite a few friends into town to come and fellowship with you in your new fully furnished abode and they gladly except the invite. Because of your hospitality, welcoming spirit, and generosity your guest become comfortable in your home, so much so that they began to get comfortable with their originally temporary living arrangement, and begin to wonder what it would be like if they were permanent guest in your home. Therefore they began to extend their stay in your home and although it seemed like a good idea initially, it turned out to do more harm than good. You had no idea that they wouldn't offer to help purchase groceries, wash clothes, clean up around the house, or contribute financially. You had no clue that they intended to live off of your success and ride your coat tail until they were no longer welcome.  Now your caught in a bind, all while mentally tossing the idea around about the best route to handle the situation because you bit off more than you could chew. Without question your friends have got to go, but how do you say good bye?
