Praise and be Thankful!

Okay I admit it I am the worst to complain! I don't know if it is girl thing or a me thing... but I am here to tell ya I am a chronic complainer. Sometimes though, I think we all have been here, we have complained from time to time. Whether our spouses have gotten under our skin or our kids are running around like wild monkeys, or maybe there is a financial issue, we have all complain! Have you thought about looking at the blessings of life? If we would replace one complaint with a blessing can you imagine how different our day would be. Instead of concentrating on the bad we should be thankful! Instead of allowing our spouse to get to us we should be thankful that our spouse returned home safely from work. Instead of concentrating on our kids being wild we should be thankful that they are healthy. Instead of complaining about our finances we should be thankful that God has supplied our needs. 


Psalm 100:4-5 tells us; Enter into His gates with Thanksgiving, and into his courts with Praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.

  1. I agree! Wonderful thought. If we would only swap out our complaints with a blessing acknowledgement. I really enjoy you post!
