Where has chivalry gone. Long ago the word meant manners befitting a knight even in the 1930's we could look back and say there were men who were gentlemen. Perhaps the problem is today that men have become gentle men simply that no longer a knight. I see many women carrying the shopping out of the stores and packing the bags as well as trying to juggle the kids. Perhaps men think that just paying the bills is enough. Women want that all in one package. Where they are walked to their car where they are listend to and where bags are carried. Christ was the ultimate knight who saw good in even the adultress woman he lifted her heart out of the miery muck and gave her hope. Yet where is that today. I see little of that around. Boys at school where shirts all baggie and to be rude seams to be in the thing. But chivalry is what I think we all can do, bringing honor and dignity into our homes, schools and work places. Opening a door going the extra mile. Buying some groceries for someone in need perhaps, by one person going that extra mile that will bring chivalry back and a smile to women who long for those knights to come ridding into their lives.
Please have a cup of tea with me today.
