A Minute Message from Pastor “Mind your Manners The other day as I walked into the Post Office I saw the custodian was mopping the floor. Suddenly she looked up at me and said, “Wow, nobody does that anymore”. Wondering what I might have done I asked her. She responded, “You wiped your feet as you came in”. Wiping my feet was something I did instinctively; it was part of my good upbringing (thanks to my MOM + WIFE). Simply put it’s what we called good manners. We were taught to say; Yes sir or No ma’am, please and thank you, to respect our elders, to open doors for the ladies, and to let others go first. Have our good manners gone the way of “wow nobody does that anymore”. As Christians, we above all should be the ones who exhibit good manners; after all they fall under the category of the fruits of the Spirit. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Gal. 5:22-23 (NIV) I challenge you in the days ahead to show forth the fruit of the Spirit to someone and let them stand back and exclaim “Wow, nobody does that anymore”
