While we were there we both observed how polite they are to us and each other. We have become an increasingly rude society, and could learn much from the Chinese in this regard.

I always think it is because of who I am in Christ, that the enemy tries to trick me up with these unsolicited events.

I am a friendly person and was making conversation with them--receiving one word answers and the two of them rolling their eyes at one another. As I left I wished them both a good day and as I walked away the were laughing at me and said something to the affect of "what's with her." What is this world coming too when you are mocked for wishing someone a good day?????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-77572981462271636142008-05-20T13:45:00.000-04:002008-05-20T13:45:00.000-04:00Tracie-Thank you for your insight in today’s devot...Tracie-<BR/>Thank you for your insight in today’s devotion "To Text or Not to Text." I have two grade scholars (so I have not entered this problem, yet). But my husband and I met 15 years ago in high school and I am reminded of the time my mother read my diary without my knowing it. I was hurt and disappointed that she would choose to snoop rather than ask me herself about my relationship. We have a wonderful mother/daughter friendship now, but I vowed to never resort to snooping as a mother. Not all relationships are the same, and as a mother you may be surprised at how truthful your child will be. Thanks again for the opportunity to reflect on such an important issue as mothers. <BR/>-SabrinaSabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07288901457780332683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-47697950961362496252008-05-20T12:25:00.000-04:002008-05-20T12:25:00.000-04:00Jesus is definitely the answer for combatting or h...Jesus is definitely the answer for combatting or handling the rudeness in today's culture.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading both. Your thoughts are truly insightful. <BR/><BR/>I have a middle school daughter, and she claims that "everyone" has a cell phone. She feels left out, etc. My husband and I don't think it is a "necessity" for her to have one. We haven't caved in. <BR/><BR/>Your entry about rudeness was right on point as well. I often find myself asking, "What is wrong with people?" Of course, it doesn't take much to figure out. <BR/><BR/>Thank you again for your insight! I've bookmarked your blog so that I can read it everyday.<BR/><BR/>God Bless You,<BR/><BR/>MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-6418507773235081752008-05-20T11:18:00.000-04:002008-05-20T11:18:00.000-04:00That was an awesome and inspiring blog.

I always thought that when people were rude to me, the devil was trying to steal my joy and peace. I like how you said that God is working on our hearts when we encounter rude or unfriendly people. I hope many people read your blog because its so easy for Christians to be kind to those who are loving and easy to get along with, but it's entirely different to love the ones who curse you or mock you. <BR/>Jesus is my hope and strength in dealing with the unlovely people in our world. Thank you for letting God work through you to teach others to be more like Him. <BR/><BR/>LindsayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-42749124063111998682008-05-20T10:57:00.000-04:002008-05-20T10:57:00.000-04:00I read your post on Proverbs 31 about the texting ...I read your post on Proverbs 31 about the texting issues with our children today. My middle school son has a phone and I frequently read his text's. Never have I seen anything off color or rude. I know my son's friends and he knows how to behave himself.
