"Give a good time"

Nancy J. Jagel

DO you like to go to parties? When my sisters, my brother, and I were little, our mom would call out as we left the house on our way to a party, "Give a good time!"

Why didn't she say "Have a good time" like everybody else? Because my mom said it was important that we learn to think about other people and how to make them happy, rather than just think about ourselves.

We were all students in the Christian Science Sunday School, where we learned about being unselfish and kind. We were often reminded that God is Love. In fact, those words were written right over the Sunday School superintendent's desk, so we saw them every Sunday!
