Complaining

"This sucks!" Those are the words I heard come out of teenagers mouth a few minutes ago. He was talking about the fact that this is winter and he misses summer. Now don't get me wrong. I am longing for summer as well, since it is my favorite time of year, but today's beautiful 6o degree weather in January is a gift and not to be complained about. I reminded my son that there are alot of things that "suck" worse than this and that scripture says not to concentrate on the sucky things in life....

‎"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Philippians 4:8

If you are doing this, you will never have anything to complain about. Afterall, where would negative thoughts creep in if you are constantly thinking on the good things in life.
