Manners, Manners, Yes they Matter !

Manners, manners,

Yes they matter,

To show grace,

And consideration,
in life and chatter*

Many aren't raised,
to think they matter,
Training is lacking,
for life and chatter*

Please,
Thank you,
Excuse me sir,
Yes 'mam,
No 'mam,
Your welcome sir,

Pardon me,
May I?
Oh how kind!

Good manner words,
Are some of the best 
Words to find!

Manners, manners,
Yes they matter,
To show grace and consideration,
In life and chatter,

Inside, outside,
At a table, at home,
or 'round town,
Using good manners,
'round friend or foe,
Using good manners,
Is the right way to go!

Read this FABULOUS article on good manners in today's world, by Denise.  May WE, dear sisters,  model  what's right, and gently teach young children in our care.  The section titled, "BE A CONVERSATIONALIST HERO,"  will probably remind you of some deficits common to our culture:  https://www.denisesultenfuss.com/modern-manners-that-bolster-kindness-and-compassion/
(linked with gracious permission)

Hopefully we can use these thoughts to add to our glow as we seek to be a light in darkness.

May we be a vessel of light and love,

Blessings,
