Citizenship, generosity, manners. Where do we learn them? Home? School? Church?

I think most of us would say home. Then why is it that when we are at home, our mouths and manners are at their lowest?

You know what I’m talking about. Your son is sarcastic and mouthy. Or your daughter procrastinates before she obeys. How are we supposed to feel loved, treasured, and special when behaviors are lousy in our homes? Moms, we aren’t blameless ourselves either! When was the last time we used the words, “dumb”, or “stupid,” even if only aimed at a TV?

It’s not surprising that we’ve slacked off the way the world is today. It’s so common to forget about being kind and gentle. People should assume we’re only joking when we act this way right? WRONG!

I urge you to change the way you think. Let’s not allow our children to belittle each other. Let’s expect respect, kindness to others, cooperation, promptness, dependability, and sensitivity in our families. Let’s stress character education in our homes!

No matter what size your family is, a selfless attitude goes miles in maintaining a kind and gentle home. Things will go smoother and more enjoyable for everyone without all the bickering and picking up of hurt feelings.

We need to remember that our houses shouldn’t be war zones – but havens from the trials of the world. Let’s wake up and soften all of our tongues. You’ll be amazed at just how far the language has gotten in your home! I think it’s time we all do a little house cleaning. Wouldn’t you?
