What I love very much so about where I live now is that chivalry is not dead here. Chivalry in my electronic dictionary states this, "The qualities, as bravery and courtesy, idealized by knighthood." I love that almost every single day a gentleman, both young and old, will hold open a door for a lady. That is much more pronounced where I live now than where I use to live. Parents continue to teach or start teaching the boy's in your family to respect women and honor them and how to treat a lady. I just love that the men will pick up their pace a little bit to get to the door before you to open it and hold it open for you. If you want to win a ladies heart or get on the right road to winning her heart I would strongly suggest that opening door's and car door's for her is a great way to start. What about the days when you would be walking on a sidewalk and the man walks curbside to protect the lady?
All one has to do here is put on a sleeveless top and shorts along with suntan lotion and go walking and you have a tan for the day. The simple kindness' of the people with the way that they were raised in this region..Mam, Sir, Miss so and so. Fashion forward region with the latest in styles and what is trendy too. This region brings in the big name preacher's and events too. I am extremely blessed to attend a church in which not only there is the love of Jesus expressed and demonstrated (even though it is large in attendance numbers you still feel His presence) but great preacher's and worship people come to our church to bless us. They sure do bless us. With a church of this size you know that there will always be somewhere that you can plant a monetary seed that will benefit another person either in the local community or around the world. I love chit chatting while on the shuttle bus to and from the service. Being able to be a part of a huge youth conference. Receiving the rich word of God through the preaching/teaching/worship. Worship is very rich at this church. I guess I need to seek out finding a place to live that is closer in proximity to the church so I would be able to participate more in activities and ministry. I love visiting with the little Indian man where I get my newspaper and sometimes coffee after church. Do you know that last week I got a newspaper and a coffee and he told me he didn't want to charge me for the coffee. I joked with him and said his son was going to fire him because sales are probably down when he works because he gives things away. Sure enough, when I got in the car and checked my change he only took a dollar for what I purchased. I love the Chinese restaurant near church that offers lunch time specials even on Sunday's. How many times does a restaurant offer lunch specials just during the week? They will even custom make or tweek a dish for me. I dislike celery and bok choy and they will make a dish without it for me and add fresh mushrooms and onions too at no additional charge. I love the one store I will stop in by church and a lady from church works there and leads people to the Lord right there.
I love that I am in a home filled with love and such hospitality shown to me. Helping me get back on my feet again so I will be able to venture out on m own again. Accepting me for who I am. A dog that blesses me immensely and I do not have to do the grooming, etc. I can cook or bake whenever I feel like it and the heavy burdens that weighed me down where I use to live have been lifted for me for a season.
Let me share with you what I have learned. When a male is kind and gracious and allows you to text a message or leave a voicemail message of encouragement for them, that does not mean that they care about you. Maybe they were raised to respect a lady and have a gentle nature about them so it is not in their nature to ask you to not continue to encourage them. Be wise ladies, just because someone does not say "no" to your kindness does not mean that you have won their heart. They may or may not read or listen to the words of encouragement but you must still be thankful that God used them in your life to allow you to grow in your faith walk and that is a very good thing. One day a gentleman will come into my life and love me for me and the Jesus that is inside of me. Faith allows one to be strong in their belief of knowing this will happen. When Holy Spirit speaks something to your heart it will surely come to pass it is a matter of time you watch. It will happen. I will write about it when it does and as I said before, more than likely my writing days may be put to rest so as to not share with you all what God has blessed me with in my life, as in the form of marriage. Unless...my husband would enjoy me sharing what God has done in both of our lives with all of you to be an encouragement to you that God reigns and He still does set up divine encounters/meetings to connect a man and woman together to create a beautiful union blessed by Him. Pray for me, for it is all about timing and I am so ready to share what I have to give and bring to a marriage with the one that God has pre-destined and set aside just for me. Yep, just for me. I wait with expectancy to see this unfold. God is so good and so gracious and His mercies endure forever.
Before I conclude this writing I want to share some more with you. I have found it most endearing to observe Oriental families that walk together. If there is a child they walk next to the father and the mother walks a few paces behind them. Not always do I see this but when I do I think that is nice to see that there still are families that honor their culture. I have also observed that people that have originated from India have a gentle nature about them. If you like Lexus cars then this is the place to be or open up a Lexus dealership for there sure are a lot of them on the road. I see a lot of Mini Cooper's and of course sporty little cars too. There is no lack of BMW's and Infiniti cars on the road along with Mercedes-Benz. Do not see too many Hummer's maybe the gas crunch has stopped that craze.
