Complaining

Today Lisa and I attended a great worship service then decided to go to brunch at our favorite place. As we sat chatting about the sermon she threw me for a loop. She said this, "We all complain about something in life." I asked her to repeat that statement to be certain I had it right. She did and I did.

I thought about it long and hard. She could tell that something was going on "inside of my head". I stated then I was going to write at some point. I had to "think about it" first. You see I used to be one to complain back in the day. Now I don't but I do. Hearing this today made me think and I do have a complaint to make. It is this, "We do not have enough LOVE in this world."

I was told in my teens that you cant complain about something without coming up with solutions also. So in keeping with that premise is this:

• "I LOVE MYSELF because GOD LOVES ME".

• "I LOVE PEOPLE even when they cant or wont LOVE THEMSELVES".

• "I LOVE MY NEIGHBOR as I do myself."

Yes we all can complain. It is our nature and what we do. But when you find a solution to put into practice...you resolve the complaint. I can resolve my complaint with 3 simple words..."I LOVE YOU". So when you complain today...think about how much we have in life to be thankful for first.
