God’s deeds are done in actions not words
If you do not appreciate what God has given, it was be taken away and replaced with something not as good

Apply the principles of auto-suggestion. People will more readily to respond to your actions than your words. Never use it for evil. Examples:

setup a table properly with all the meal and bring out a container showing empty butter and the guest will likely volunteer to go get butter
