To say no. These days is almost like letting go of a fart in an elevatoreverybody tries to find out who did it so they can respond to this persons indiscretion. This is because it is so rarely heard anymore were afraid of losing our friends so we don't tell them no. We want to impress our boss as well as impress people at church so still we do not say no. I should this point remind you all that statement. Get used to saying no. Are the works of St. José Maria escriva. The commentary. However, is my own. Even to door-to-door salesman if his pitch is good. We find it difficult to say no to. We are to say the least a consumer driven economy as well as a nation that watches enough television to think we should always look 20 years old and not 40 years old. So we are a nation also stuck upon vanity and few think of the plastic surgery the body painting the makeup to cover up any deformities in their skin. So many of us rush out and buy the first electronic doodad you can find or get out to buy what some celebrity tell you you should buy. But let's stop there. Just a second saying you got home but it was a little late and besides, you have a killer date tonight. So you don't get to use either your new electronic doodad or the makeup it was recommended by a movie star. As it turns out it was a killer date and the next make up you will use will be put on you at a funeral home. So the put is simply the old rules stands that you can't take it with you. And as you really begin to understand how silly it was to purchase that the day before, and Jesus turns to you and says what I was hungry, you did not feed me when I was cold. You did not clothe me what I was thirsty you gave me no water and some will say when did I see you hungry when did I see you naked when did I see you thirsty And then you will hear the words we all dread the hear begone from me he Cursed , for I never knew thee. All of this happens because of the fact you could not say no.
No When you first start learning to say buddy things begin to happen Funny Funny When you begin to develop. hen you begin to develop the habit of saying no To beginFunny thing is begin to happen when you first begin to learn how to say no. A example of this would be like your your buddies from work ask you to go out and have few drinks after work, now of course you ask can my wife come? The answer of course is a resounding no, because it seems to be a male bonding experience to drink to get drunk and talk bad about your wife. Well, it is fortunate as I who enjoy having my wife with me you will tell them no thanks. However, they will keep asking for at least a month and a half before they tag you as some sort of outsider. You will find that you have less and less friends that hang around you, let alone even come near you. The same begins at your home less and less you're no longer with wanting to buy the newest electronic doodad nor are you wanting to buy whatever the goop that is in a bottle that swears it will help keep the young just like the models say. But also you begin to notice benefits you begin to eat as a family around the table also your wife becomes less than that person who fixes your meals and more of a friend. You begin to think more of others than yourself, and suddenly you find you're getting blankets to the blanket drive. So the poor will be warm. And you find yourself beginning to spend part of your Christmas handing out food to the less fortunate whether as a church, or as an individual handing out meals for those who have no home. The holiday season And let us get one thing straight between us. It is not a happy holiday. It is not happy x- mass. Plain and simple. It is Christmas. Right here is one of the best places in the best beginning to say no. After time you will get stronger and stronger and be able to say no more and more frequently. Then perhaps you'll hear the words from Christ, we all long to hear which are well done thy good and faithful servant, enter into the joys of heaven
