Manners Matter

You only have so many years with your kids and it's so hard to figure
out, what should I teach them?

What things are really going to help them succeed in life?

It's all about manners, the basic things, shaking someone's hand, eye
contact, please and thank you.

This is one as an adult, I'm still working on, maybe you are too:

Be polite to people who serve.

When I'm checking out at Target, or I'm at the gas station, instead of
looking down at the terminal, trying to get my chip card to work...
waiting for it... re-inserting the chip, then messing up my pin, it
always seems like it takes so long for it to process.

To take that time for me to actually look up at the person who's
serving me and smile, say hi, ask them how their day is going, thank
them for what they're doing.

Because you don't know why God puts you at that aisle, at Target, at
that specific time, but God does.

And it's for a reason.
