Good Morning,
I just sat down with a hot cup of Door County Bourbon Pecan Pie Coffee and it is time to write.
Hebrews 13:16 NKJV Bur do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Yesterday was Trick Or Treat day in my part of the world. As Is our custom in our home, we place a table outside and we share it with our neighbor Donna. She has half of the table, I sit at the other end. The kids come by and are given candy from two house holds.
The costumes were cute and some were quite elaborate. But what I noticed especially yesterday that most of the kids readily said thank you. In some instances the wee ones were prompted by parents to say thank you.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go. And when he is old he will not depart from it.
So my point for the day is this. We witnessed good manners in action. In addition many of the kids were accompanied by their parents or some other adult who were their guardians for the day/evening. Automobile traffic on our street was at a minimum and most all of the drivers proceeded with caution and the guardians as well as the folks manning the candy took extra care to help the kids as they crossed the street. A couple came through a little quickly and were reminded by others and us to slow down.
It is amazing what can happen when people place others first and just plain old do good.
We were blessed to be a part of it.
God bless,
Marty
