Mother Taught Me

Matthew 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother

Mother Taught Me

Mother taught me, say thank you, say please;

Say excuse me, when I  cough or sneeze.

To cover my mouth, don't let the germs out;

Help others with joy, without a pout.

She taught me to say sorry when I am wrong;

Told us, kids, not to fight, to get along.

When it's time to work roll up your sleeves:

And that, Jesus, saves, when people believe.

Mother taught me, to be grateful and kind;

Know that most- clouds of life are golden lined.

To pick up my clothes, be sure to wipe my nose;

And to be sure to wash between my toes.

 Mother taught me, to love our family;

She taught me while I sat on her knee.

Stand up for what is right, to love our country;

And that money never grows on the trees.

Mother taught me, to plant a flower seed;

and to wait for it to grow, patiently.

She sat beside me, playing paper dolls;

Before I went into surgery.

My mother has taught me many more things;

So many, that they could never be told.

She has made me laugh, she has made me cry;

My love for mother will never grow old.

My mother is still teaching me each day;

She's teaching me by how brave she stays.

That she can still smile and think of others;

Though sick, is still busy being, mother.

Mother taught me to be brave and how to pray;

Hands together, to say, "Lord help me."

I thank the Lord for my  precious mother;

She will always be beautiful to me.

Are Manners Biblical?

Are Manners Biblical?

 It is unnecessary to thank people for anything, we should only thank God.

(This statement is untrue because)

1Peter 3:8 ¶ 

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous

Meaning of the word courteous: polite, respectful, or considerate in manner.

synonyms: polite, well mannered, civil, respectful, well behaved, well bred, well spoken, mannerly; gentlemanly, chivalrous, gallant; gracious, obliging, considerate, pleasant, cordial, urbane, polished, refined, courtly, civilized

Examples Of Being Courteous Would Be- Showing appreciation, like saying, "thank you." Saying, "you're welcome, which expresses you were glad to help."

apologizing, saying "pardon me, or excuse me." Saying the word, "please" shows that we are not demanding. It is being considerate of others feelings.It is honoring others. Saying, Yes Sir, No Sir/ Yes Mam, No Mam is showing respect for authorities and also honoring the elderly. We are to show love and consideration one to another. Being gentle, kind and thoughtful. (These are things we should work on and become better at each day.) It helps keep peace and unity.)

Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

1Thesalonians 2:7 

But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, {patient: or, forbearing} 

Titus 3:2 

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
