What do you suppose is the most valuable two word sentence you can say? Some of you might say, it's "We won!" Others would vote for, "Here's money!" Well, a really valuable two-word sentence is, "Thank you." It isn't used as often as it should be. How often do we use it? And how often do we say thank you even to the persons who are closest to us, like our mother and father? How often do we say it to our friends or even strangers when they do something for us?
It's so easy to forget, especially if the Good Turn is done by somebody in our family. Too often we take for granted the many things our parents and other family members do for us.
Here's a challenge for us. Between now and next troop meeting, see if we can find some reason to say thank you every day to some member of our family. We may be surprised how they will react. A simple thank you costs nothing, but it means so much to those who matter most to us.
Good manners can be the difference between being just another Scout, and a Scout who shines really brightly in the eyes of those around him.
