Emily Post
Etiquette.
Chapter XII.
The Well-Appointed House
"Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness,
you have good manners, no matter what fork you use."
The Well-Appointed House 1922
Emily Post
"The personality of a house is indefinable,
but there never lived a lady of great cultivation and charm whose home, rather a palace, a farm-cottage or a tiny apartment, did not reflect the charm of it's own."

I came across some Emily Post quotes that I had scribbled on an old envelope that was stashed among papers that were hidden away for such a time as this. My shredding pile has gotten out of control but I have high hopes of seeing the end of this daunting task that doesn't disappear just because I don't want to deal with it.
I'd like to get my hands on an early edition of Emily Post's book about etiquette. I found an online site that I may just have to study.
From when Emily wrote to our present day, I think she would be mortified at how t.r.a.s.h.y. and casual this day and age has become. Trashy. TOO Casual. Laid back and crawling on the floor casual. See all the holes in my jeans casual. I forgot to comb my hair a month ago casual. It doesn't matter if my rear-end crack shows and I'm a grown up casual. My cleavage is hanging out casual. So many body tattoos that my natural skin tone is at the lost and found casual.
Perhaps I will study her writings and get better acquainted with CLASS. I mustn't forget all manners just because the world says to.
Have a pleasant day,

DECORATING
I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
"HOME is a wonderful place to LIVE. No matter the size of the rooms, ones HOME is a place to call ones own. I so LOVE my HOME." ~Deanna~
PSALM 90:12
SO

WISHES
NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
