Where do you hear a compliment? Dolly Parton said her husband was receiving a number of compliments from a woman at their local bank. She subsequently wrote the song titled Jolene. In the song she penned these words, “Jolene, please don’t take my man just because you can.” I don’t believe for a minute there was ever any woman who could have snatched up Carl Dean away from Dolly. However, whatever was transpiring made for a great hit song for Dolly. Also, I feel confident that Carl was getting plenty of attention from Dolly at home as well. Or, maybe he wasn’t, who knows?
A counselor asked a man if he woke up grumpy? He replied, “No, I just let her sleep.”
Where does your husband or wife receive their compliments, admiration and affirmation? Do they receive it at home or from someone at the bank, the grocery store, Walmart, church, gym or neighbor? We all like a good word. It’s nice to hear we look good, or that we are appreciated, admired or whatever the praise might be. We all like to hear a good word. Most everyone deserves a good word unless you are the Devil. Even he can garner some positive words. He is a hard worker and extremely successful would certainly be in order.
