PLEASE
When did we say, “Please!” for
the first time? Did we hear our
parents or older kids begging
another for something: “Please!”
Did it work? Did another grant our
wish? Is it one of the first great
lessons in life - to beg another
for a favor - and they do it?
Is all this the foundation of prayer
and relationships? What happens
to us when nobody listens and we
simply can’t get our way? Uh oh!
Does that lead us to “Pretty please”
or plea bargaining - or does it stop us
from learning life’s second lesson:
learning to say “Thank you”?
