everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an
encouragement to those who hear them.

I was paid the sweetest compliment
yesterday. The cashier at the Walmart in
Chattanooga and I chatted about my visit to the area, my lack of a Boston
accent and the proper way to pronounce ‘oil’.
As I signed for my purchase he said “you’re rather pleasant.” Was that a compliment or a jab at
Bostonians? I took it as a compliment. My kids would say it’s the Alger Way. My parents embarrassed us as teenagers by making
strangers into friends everywhere. I’m just
following tradition.

The gentleman continued by explaining
that he used to just think those things, but has begun saying them to
people. He said “you never know what
that might do for a person.” I agreed
that we should never miss an opportunity to lift someone up.

How ‘bout we all lift someone up
