Ever wonder what to say when complimented, even for something that you didn't have a hand in?
"Thank you."
No commentary. No explanation.
Did you hear the one about the salesman that did a great job selling his product and then talked so much after the sale that he had to take the product back?
"Thank you" contains everything you want to say but don't have the words to say.
When we explain, it's like apologizing for having received the gift of a compliment, unless we're crediting another person for the compliment we have just received.
Proverbs 10:19 says it all, "When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is prudent."
Enough said :-)
This post is dedicated to my husband who says a lot with the few words he uses. Love you hon!
