Complainers

Sometimes I think and myself included there is just no way to make people happy. I can not even imagine how tough God has it.  To try and please the whole human race at one time has to be an impossible task. Then there is the thankless aspect of it. We like to be thanked for every little thing we do, and recognized too. Take for example " honey did you know I took out the garbage and made the bed"  We strive for that compliment or pat on the back.
      Look what God has to contend with on a daily basis. There is a lack of rain and the lakes are drying up so he sends us rain. Us people who were complaining that it was too dry are now complaining about rain.  Okay so its stops raining for a few weeks and the lakes are full but its dry, we complain we need more rain. Then there's the climate. If you have ever been in a room full of people just know the thermostat on the wall is getting a good workout. It's too hot, its too cold. We complain about the cold weather and how we can't wait until Summer gets here. Then it comes and we are ready for winter again. How about the job we ask God to supply so that we can provide for our families, but come Monday morning we are complaining because we have to go to work.  Yeah I can't even imagine doing that thankless job. I can see it resembles being a parent in some ways.  We as children weren't always thankful for what our parents provided. Maybe your parents didn't buy designer clothes or you didn't always eat what you liked. Maybe you had to buy your own car. Our parent might have been the perfect example of God in this situation. They were thinking about the good of everyone not just one person.  Here is a thought instead of complaining try appreciating what we have.  Work harder to get all that God has in store for you. Be responsible with all he has given you and he will entrust you with more.  There should not ever be a sense of entitlement. We are owed nothing. But we owe everything to him.
   Have a great day
