One Thousand Gifts (continued)

 "Do everything without complaining or arguing" 
(Philippians 2:14).

They grumble.  They complain.  Pulling them away from the comfy indoors is like pulling teeth.  Yes, we had to force our children to come on a hike and enjoy the beautiful fall weather and fall colours.  However, as it turned out, we all had a wonderful time together!  How often life is like that.  We grumble and complain or worry about things, but by God's grace, and with His help and strength we are able to get through our circumstances, whatever they may be (and the result is often better then we anticipated)!  It shames me to think how often I grumble or complain.  With all of my MANY many blessings, there should be no room for complaining!

Continuing to give thanks...
