1 | How should we as christians greet ? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 88785 | ||
Justme, here's the skinny on the way we greet folks in Arkansas. We have kind of a 'code of the hills' way of doing things down here. When we pass the collection hat, we make careful note of the greenbacks people put in the hat, and we adjust our greetings accordingly. The guy who gives only a dollar gets half a smile. Five bucks is worth a grin. Ten will get you a handshake. Twenty is worth a slap on the back. Fifty brings a big hug. A hundred elects you to the board of deacons. No offering at all and we ask you to be an usher and help take up the collection. We figure that maybe those who won't give anything themselves might be able to coax others into giving! And, of course, at the end of the service we say to everyone, "Y'all come back now, hear?" ..... Now be honest. Don't you Show Me's envy the suave and debonair ways of us Arkie Razorbacks? Man, we're like real downtown folks who live in the sticks. --Hank | ||||||

Hank :-) There is nothing bashful about your kind of making a person feel welcome. We lived in California most of our lives. When we moved to the "Show Me" state, we found out what a mid western welcome really is. The real genuine down to earth friendly people here are. People still say thank you for shopping at their business. Opening a door for ladies is still an accepted practice, the ladies enjoy, and it is a manly thing to do. The pace of life is 100 times less stressful than California. A hand shake means something here. For us the yellow brick road that led Dorthy to Kansas started in Missouri. Perhaps the most important of all is the church we belong to, and the fellowship that Christians share is openly apparent. I know it might seem like I have rose colored glasses on, but after four decades in the high desert of California, the grass was greener here, not to mention the beautiful lush green trees. I suppose it sounds weard but we love the four seasons and yes, we love the snow. What more could a person want? Especially having such nice neighboring states like Baha Missouri, so called Arkansas. Have a great day. Blessings. justme |
