Why Complain?

Wow! I was just reminded when reading another blog, of a scripture I use to carry around in my purse on a 3x5 index card.  Out of sight out of mind. "  Do all things without murmurings and disputings." (Philippians 2:14). This scripture is simple but deep.  Do you realize how much you complain?  I have to be mindful of this scripture, because I do find myself complaining more often then not.  And I do have to admit, I've learned how to not argue as much with my groom, however the key word in the scripture is ALL.   If you think about it, is it worth complaining, does it really do any good?  What can you do in your power to change it?  Action speaks louder then words. 


 If my daughter is slow when getting ready for school every morning, I can complain all I want, but she's still slow, which makes me more angry.  My husband got tired of me complaining and said, if you know she's slow, just wake her up 30 minutes early so she will be ready in time.  I love McDonald's french fries, a couple times I've gotten them cold, and I like them very fresh, so now I just ask for them without salt, the fries are made fresh without salt, and I put how much salt I want on them myself. Stores that do not offer refund or exchange, I do not patronize rather then complain.

 I have to be very mindful of my groom asking me to do something, it may not be something I want to do at the time, but just say okay to avoid disputing.  And when I ask him to do something he will do the same.  Marriage is about compromise and sacrificing, afterall Jesus did it for us.... Wow...
