the beauty of "PLEASE"

PLEASE

Please. It's a special word we teach our kids is the magic key to open so many doors. But as adults, we sometimes forget that it's not just a word to repeat over and over on our deathbeds facing skyward and hoping that God will forget that all these we forgot Him.

Please is a word to use every day. When we ask for help, "please" tells the person that we respect them and that we value the time and effort they will put in to help us. Without the please, we are essentially saying that we want the help but we don't value it...or the person we are asking it of.

And guess what? Without the please we devalue our request and with it ourselves. So please say please.
