First off, we just adore one another and put each first! We put the Lord before us and we love one another unconditionally! Beyond these needed and wonderful things, there is so much more to our home. Two of the things that I think make a huge difference are manners and compliments!
Mr. Roylance and I work extra hard to always compliment each other and bring one another up! There is not a day or even hour that goes by in our home that we don't take the time to say something kind about one another! It lightens our life and helps each one of us to understand how much we are loved and needed, even if that's only within the walls of our home! We have purpose together, we know who we are, and we know that together we can do anything! This is something we really have worked on through out our lives and have gotten even better at in our life together.
I just hope people can still realize how it important it is to compliment and lift everyone up, no matter where you are or who you are talking with!
Now, manners are a huge issue in my mind. It amazes me how many people just have thrown them out the door! For example, I get an awesome gift from someone or someone does something nice for me and I say thank you and really express to them the joy from receiving and they do not say a word. Or when driving down the road you let someone in front of you and they instead zoom on up and cut you off without even a nod or a simple wave. Or you take a few extra moments to do a simple kind act, such as holding the door open, they walk by you as if you were meant to be a door stop. It's SO sad! I have so many examples up my sleeve and if I could change the way people thought about having manners and expressing gratitude I sure would do it!
But since i'm just one person, I will vow to keep going each day spreading kindness, compliments and manners! That way I am making the difference I want to see/be in the world!
Manners in our home are everything! A constant on going around here. If someone does something nice we make sure to say thank you or if we need help, we say please! No matter how big or small the things done are, kind words are used and welcomed here!
Common words: You're Welcome, May I, Words of Affirmation, Please, Thank You, Can I help you, What can I do for you,
What have doing these simple things done you may ask?! Just to name a few....
1. Brings Harmony!
2. All the little things are noticed and things are not just expected.
3. Keeps us humble!
4. Keeps us kind!
5. Helps up look outside ourselves!
6. We become more loving!
7. Trust is built.
8. Extra kind words are said.
9. Loyalty!
10. Friendship!
11. Builds Respect!
Kindness is contagious! How about we pay it forward? It's never too late to start something again!
Thanks Mr. Roylance for contributing to a home of kindness, manners and compliments, it makes a world of difference and it has really kept us strong! Love you!
