Maybe my Door County Cherry Creme Coffee will wake me up and get me going today. I think going to bed a little earlier would help.
Yesterday I spoke about the subject of good manners. Some of the feedback I received was not too positive. I was surprised to hear that some prefer not to have doors held open for them. Nor do some expect their children to say thank you to strangers.
I take those comments and listen. But when it comes to acts of politeness and kindness I will always error on the side of both.
When being kind or respectful I have never felt bad for doing either one. Avoiding being kind and polite is wrong. Not being kind or polite means we are either being mean or complacent.
James 4:17 Therefore to those who know to do right and do not do it, to them it is a sin.
Seriously, many social ways of showing respect have disappeared like saying sir or mam. If being politically correct means I have to not show respect or kindness, then call me politically incorrect.
Merry Christmas!!!!!
