Even our children have a response. If I say to them, "you are so smart!" Just the other day the little one replied: "By God's grace."

Like Bob says: Point heavenward!
No, hold it Grace may dear sister, I was joking. I was forming a bit of satire based on those pretentious 'gospel' artists that point heavenward while the applause goes on and on.

I've been in several musical groups and bands and I struggled for years with the thought: is this for my glory or for the Lords? I finally had to force myself to realize that I was an entertainer. Nothing wrong with being a Christian entertainer as long as you don't mix entertainment with worship. When I would entertain I appreciated the applause and I responded with 'thank you'. Those guys who would receive the applause and keep pointing up always turned my stomach.
