Cease Your Grumbling And Get Happy

Do everything without grumbling or arguing. Philippians 2:14

It is way easier to gripe and complain than it is to be nice. It is easier to frown than smile. NOT. Try this. Say something good to someone you don’t even know. Smile at a person who is frowning. 

There was a song back in World War 2 days “Forget your troubles come on get Happy we’re gonna chase all the blues away” copyright 1930 sung by among others the late Judy Garland of Wizard of Oz fame. (Link to it is below if you need a cheery song to pep up your day.) Music has the ability to lift you out of your doldrums, to set your feet to dancing, and to simply make you feel good.

I heard once for every bad thing you said you need to try to counter it with 7 positive things. Get in the habit of trying to curtail griping, complaining, and arguing even when you may think it is justified. The enemy has an open door when you have a harsh complaining spirit. When you point a finger there are pointing back at you. Be still, be kind, be loving. Have a blessed day. 

PRAYER: Father sometimes it is hard to love everyone. Some people even in families can rub me the wrong way. Help me love practice loving like you do, reaching out like you do and helping someone have a better day. Help me to keep my mouth closed if good things don’t come out of it. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
