DON’T GRUMBLE (Day 4 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
What causes us to grumble?
Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 1 Peter 4:9 ESV
Grumble: to murmur or complain under your breath against someone or something.
Dissatisfaction, envy, laziness, harsh judgements, selfishness …
Goodness, that’s not so pretty.
I think my biggest problem is judgement. I grumble about people who “should” do something different according to my standards or for my convenience.
The store should quit rearranging their shelves (where is the cottage cheese, for crying out loud?). What is wrong with the website designer (the log-in button should be easier to find)? The grandchildren should have better eating habits (ew, please don’t lick your fingers, that’s what napkins are for). Grumble, grumble.
Hmmm. I have my work cut out for me. How are y’all doing? What produces grumbles for you? How are you combating that?
Paul asked me to make him a particular coffee mug.
It just arrived in the mail. Yup, that’s Paul.
