Of course these posts are not all inclusive and there is so much more that could be added, but we thought it was at least a good place to start. Make it a great day, you deserve it! Tracey Proper Southern Manners The Essence of Good Manners The great underlying principle that guides all good manners is summed up most efficiently and exquisitely by Jesus Christ when He said, “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, …” (Matthew 7:12, NIV) In this simple statement you have the yardstick…

    Proper Southern Manners

    / 14 Comments

    Proper Southern Manners What has happened to Proper Southern Manners? Heck, what has happened to manners in general? I have noticed lately that manners have basically just gone right out the darn window. Walking into a store, young men don’t hold doors any longer (well my son Jacob does and Aileen’s son Zack does).  The language you hear coming out of some of these kids these days is enough to make a sailor cringe and I should know as I am married to one. Even though Tom was a sailor he often cringes hearing these kids. Well I decided that I would post portions of a Booklet on Southern Manners,…

    An Explanation Of God, By An 8 Year Old. Could You Have Done As Well?

    / 1 Comment

    An Explanation Of God, By An 8 Year Old. Could You Have Done As Well? This was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in Chula Vista , CA . He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment, to ‘explain God.’ I wonder if any of us could have done as well? EXPLANATION OF GOD:‘One of God’s main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn’t make grownups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way he doesn’t have to take…

    Saying Grace in a Restaurant! Last week, I took my children to a restaurant.My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace.As we bowed our heads he said,“God is good, God is great.Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you moreif Mom gets us ice-cream for dessert.And Liberty and justice for all!Amen” Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby,I heard a woman remark,“That’s what’s wrong with this country.Kids today don’t even know how to pray.Asking God for ice-cream!Why, I never!” Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me,“Did I do it wrong?Is God mad at me?” As I held him and assured him…

    The Three Trees (An Important Life Lesson)

    / 2 Comments

    The Three Trees (An Important Life Lesson) There were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, ‘Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty.’ Then the second tree said, ‘Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take Kings and Queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull.’ Finally the third tree said, ‘I want to…

    Answers To Very Important Questions About Santa I heard this poem many years ago. Y’all know children have so many questions, perhaps you have even heard a few of these. Well here are the answers to questions about Santa in a beautiful poem. Can Santa be Black? It happened in the kindergarten class, Right at the table where they were having snack. Joanie asked the question and they all sat back: “Mr. Slater? Can Santa Claus be black?” Poor Mr. Slater didn’t know what to say, Christmas vacation was twenty days away. There were snowflakes to cut and Window wreaths to be hung, Christmas cards to be painted, And Christmas…

    TIME A young man learns what’s most important in life from the guy next door. Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. “Jack, did you hear me?” “Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said… “Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the…

    Grandma’s Hands

    / 2 Comments

    Grandma’s Hands is a wonderful story that everyone should read. Grandma, some ninety plus years, sat feebly on the patio bench. She didn’t move, just sat with her head down staring at her hands. When I sat down beside her she didn’t acknowledge my presence and the longer I sat I wondered if she was OK. Finally, not really wanting to disturb her but wanting to check on her at the same time, I asked her if she was OK. She raised her head and looked at me and smiled. ‘Yes, I’m fine, thank you for asking,’ she said in a clear strong voice. ‘I didn’t mean to disturb you,…
