DON’T GRUMBLE – (Day 6 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
How did your week go?
Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 1 Peter 4:9 ESV
Grumble: to murmur or complain under your breath against someone or something.
I did better. I caught several grumbles in the making and turned them around. I’m deeply grateful for my sweetie, family, and friends. They come with messes and the occasional spate of drama, but, oh, how rich my life is because of them.
Oh, and I’m practicing serving attitudes when it comes to bookkeeping and housework (I cleaned the toilet this morning without grumbling about little boys who can’t seem to hit the target). Certainly these are not my favorite activities, but it helps to see them as ways to serve those I love. I’m also choosing to be grateful for our income and a home to live in and share with others.
What did you learn this week? We’re you able to think/speak more positively to/about your spouse? Others? Were you able to reduce the grumbling and move into gratitude?
Tilly hates the snow, so she is spending way more time inside. Apparently we are very boring cat servants.
We got a package and, for fun, I tossed the packing paper at Tilly (we were losing patience with her). Thankfully, she spent the better part of the day playing with and sleeping under the paper.
