I am learning to say, "All the Glory goes to God" or, "God Bless You" when I do something for others. I am guilty of saying MY PLEASURE, when it is for God's Glory that we help others.
God Bless! Great message to pray about,
Kelly

I understand what you are saying but... the Lord teaches us to treat our neighbor as we would like to be treated. If the Lord leads you to say somthing then do it... but to tell someone it was "my pleasure to help you today" is not in itslef stealing God's glory.
If you do somthing with the wrong motive then it is... but to help someone just for the sake of helping them is godly in and of itself... we do not have to beat someone over the head with the gospel and sometimes we have to be careful that we are not so heavenly minded that we are of no earthly use...
The Holy Spirit is the One that prickes peoples hearts and He works in us and through us as we allow Him to do so and we DO need to be quick to give God credit for what we do... I just am not sure it needs to be the rule as such but I like to be open to the Holy Spirit and sensitive as to how I share with my neighbor.
Good point Brother Lee!

When you do something good for someone,from the heart,there is where God`s pleasure is.Your pleasure comes from knowing that your action pleases Him.
God bless you

Thanks all of you for your thoughts and comments.
For me it is a matter of knowing that left to my own devices, I'm not a good person. To remember that if I do something kind and helpful it is only because The Holy Spirit is in me and that God loves the person I am helping. I don't hammer them but if possible I will find a way to let them know.
