Psalm 128:1, 3
Before supper one night, I suggested to my son Curtis (who was six) that he shouldserveCharissa (four) before he served himself. Naturally, he wondered why, since the platter of chicken sat directly in front of him and he was starving. I explained it is polite for fellas to serve girls before they serve themselves. The rule sounded weird to him, but he was willing if she didn’t take too long.
Surprisingly, after prayer, he picked up the huge platter, held it in front of his sister, and asked which piece of chicken she wanted.
Charissa relished all the attention. Being quite young, however, she had no idea whichpiece was which. So, very seriously, she replied, “I’d like the foot.”

Luke 7:12–15
Tact graces a lifelike fragrance graces a rose. One whiff of those red petals erases any thought of the thorns.
Tact is like that. It’s remarkable how peaceful and pleasant it can make us.
Its major goal is avoiding unnecessary offence . and that alone ought to make us desire it. Remember the teacher you had who lacked tact? Learning was sacrificed daily on the altar of fear. You wondered each session if that was the day you’d be singled out and embarrassed through some verbal put-down in front of the class.
Remember the boss you worked for who lacked tact? You never knew if he ever understood you or considered you to be a valuable employee.
