Social gatherings are great! People meet, eat together, talk, share jokes, and laugh. In the end, there is always a feeling of having had good time together or as some young people put it,”I really had fun!”

The only problem I have with social gatherings is that there are no rules. It therefore becomes the responsibility of those in attendance to remember the following:

1.Just remember that others want to be heard as well!
2.Therefore avoid dominating the talk!
3.As you share jokes and information know when to talk and when to let others talk as well!
4.Avoid jokes and talks that will make others un-comfortable
5.In the midst of having good time, avoid sharing that will might haunt you after wards!

But perhaps the most important thing to remember is to apply the golden rule, “Do unto others that which you would like to be done unto you.” Mathew 7:12

Next time I find myself in a social gathering, I will not only remember the above points but will also put them to use. How about you my friend!

Just a thought!
