You are very honest here. I too was angry when reading this – amazing how that type of emotion is so contagious but so is humility, and kindness and politeness. We just need to practice them more. thanks for the reminder Lisa. Have a blessed Easter

Lisa, such a great story. I found myself becoming angry just reading about the incident with your grandson, nothing seems to wrangle my emotions like perceived injustice.
But then I found myself also nodding with you as you transitioned to the importance of those 3 words. YES! There’s power in those words for everyone!

Lisa, they are powerful words, aren’t they? I love the quotes you shared about each of the three words. And I can fully identify with the challenge of seeing your little grandson unfairly treated. I think God gives us homework to help us put His precepts into practice but they are often opportunities I would rather avoid.

Sounds like an interesting book. I agree, those three words are powerful and I like how you applied the teaching to your own personal example.

Lisa, these words are each powerful in their own right. My husband and I work to use them liberally. We taught our sons to do the same. And though they don’t use Please and Thanks with us all the time, I do hear them use these words in other settings. Sorry is a tough one for most people. Admitting we’ve done something someone might need an apology for is humbling. I think the most recent of these words that I’ve used is Please. 🙂

Love this post Lisa! Our words are powerful things & can either build up or tear down as Proverbs 18:21 reminds us.
blessings, Jennifer

I love your example of these three words, Lisa. You have a beautiful way of bringing in a personal story to relay an important lesson/message. Love and blessings to you!

I always appreciate your ability to distill down the message of books that have impacted you. My to-read list is much longer than my time available, and you have a way of gently challenging me by sharing what you’ve read and how it’s challenged you. This post prodded me to pay better attention and use my words. Thank you.
