Philippians 2:14 (New International Version)
Do everything without grumbling or arguing.
Back in the mid-1970s, a man was driving through Arizona
and stopped at a gas station in the middle of a torrential downpour. This was
in the days of "full-service" gas stations. He sat inside his dry car
while a man, who whistled cheerfully while he worked, filled up his tank in
that awful rain.
As the customer was leaving, he said apologetically,
"I'm sorry to get you out in this weather."
The attendant replied, "It doesn't bother me a bit.
When I was fighting in Vietnam I made up my mind in a foxhole one day that if I
ever got out of this place alive, I would be so grateful I'd never complain
about anything again. And I haven't."
Taking responsibility for our attitudes is part of
building a whole and happy life.
Dear Lord we pray that today would be the day that we
would stop complaining and be thankful I all things. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
