Sisters for Yah

A recent occurance brought to mind the above subject as our granddaughter profusely thanked us for again allowing her to spend the night. We often teach the usual "thank you" or "please," but what other manners are taught frequently?

Even young children can open doors for others (even though that small courtesy is not seen a lot these days). Especially we should teach the young ones to aid the elderly or handicapped. Sometimes we are surprised to hear a small child say, "excuse me" as they step in front of us in grocery stores or public places.

The use of "Elder," "Mr.," "Mrs.," or "Sister" are not often heard enough in the Assemblies. At school it has been understood that the child address his teacher as "Miss," "Mrs.," or "Mr."

Don't we enjoy seeing children in a restaurant bow and thank Yahweh for the many blessings received? What they learn at home should be used in public because that is a good place to continue being mannerly.
