Less complaining, More Thanking...

It is so easy to see what is wrong with the world and everything around and not remember that life is a mixture of the good and the bad. We always have reasons to get angry and critical over matters but if we decide to really look deep, we will discover that life still has beauty in the midst of so much ugliness. In school; at home, at work or wherever we find ourselves we must learn to appreciate the good things we have.

Your father may not always be around when you need him but at least, you have a father. So many people will give anything to have a father figure. School isn't as fun as you would want it to be but believe me, some people would die just to have a sneak peek into a classroom. Your mum tends to use a whole tablespoon full of salt in her meals but at least she is cooking! Complaining comes easy but recently, I am beginning to see complaining as a sign of weakness.

It is a sign of weakness because those who complain never really do anything and it seems like the easiest thing to do rather than change the situation by actually doing something. We complain about everything and forget that life is so large and everyone has a part to play in it. Anyway, Lets come back home to the crux of this discussion. I want to appeal to you to be more grateful for your little blessings. And if we really look at them honestly, they are not little. God is faithful to His children and wants us to have a heart filled with gratitude.

So next time you want to complain, remember your blessings. Remember that after every rain comes sunshine. You are alive and at the best time of your life. Being young is such a blessing! You have a lot ahead of you and for you. Life is beautiful. Despite all your problems be more grateful that you are not there alone. God is there with you and will see you through. Less Complaining, choose to go down the road of gratitude!
