"Do all things without
grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of
God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in
the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. (Philippians 2:14-16)
When you complain rather than give thanks, have you ever asked
yourself why you are doing it?
Has it become such a habit that you are
well on your way to becoming a professional grumbler?
There is no doubt that the
more we complain, the better we get at it.
And unfortunately, grumbling has been
around for a long time – probably as long as humans have walked on this
earth.
Walk along with the children of Israel .
First they made it loud and clear that their feet were hurting –
well they had been walking a long time and Moses didn’t seem to have his act
together as to where this Promised Land was.
Then they grumbled that at least
back in Egypt .
Then they found fault with the wilderness - just one big desert.
And even when there were trees they
weren’t the right kind…you know the kind they were used to back in Egypt .
They’d been
promised a Promise
Land .
Finally, they began to grumble that
God had forgotten them.
With the passing of every day they got better and better at
the art of whining.
And now we
come face to face with human nature – we don’t learn from history. It’s
the 21st century and nothing has changed; grumbling, legitimate or
otherwise, continues.
But bad as complaining is, sometimes complaint conversations can
teach us a thing or two. Listen in, you
are about to have a short lesson in the benefits of complaining 101.
The young man had just been told that he had
six months to live and of course, he was devastated. “What can I do? What can I do?” he kept saying over and over
again.
The doctor thought about it for a bit and then said, “I think
I have a solution. ”
“Tell
me.
Tell me,” demanded the young man.
“Well,” continued the doctor, “Go out and find the ugliest,
most cantankerous, nagging woman you possibly can, a woman who will drive you
crazy 24 hours a day and then marry her.
‘Then go out and buy a beat-up old car that wheezes when it
runs and sometimes just stops for absolutely no reason at all.
‘Finally, move from where you now live and rent a house down
wind of a paper mill where the smells are atrocious.
“Are you sure that will make me live longer?” asked the young
man.
“No,” replied the
doctor, “but it will make six months seem like a lifetime. ”
