Complainers & Grumblers

The Lord tells us to do all things without complaining or grumbling. Yet, I know many Christians who do nothing but complain. Their faces reflect their attitudes. Even when God blesses them they still find something to grumble about. The following story illustrates well:

“A lady known as an incredible grumbler constantly complained about everything. At last her preacher thought he had found something about which she would be happy, for her farm was the finest for miles around. When he met her, he said with a beaming smile, ‘You must be very pleased, Mary. Everyone is saying how healthy your potatoes look this year.’ In her usual sour manner she replied, ‘True, they’re pretty good, but what am I going to do when I need bad ones to feed the pigs?’”
