Stop Complaining: Start Thanking

Complaints, criticism, passing the buck shifting the blame onto others…Has this not become a way of life for many of us? We find one thousand things that are wrong with life and people and the way the world functions. Oh, yes, we are very good at judging, evaluating, criticizing and finding fault with everything, everyone and the system! Allow us a little rope, and we can actually lecture to God on what is wrong with His plan and His management of our world! Indeed, we have become experts, past masters in the art of complaining and criticizing; champions in that familiar game of passing the buck. But, at the end of the day,. Has this mastery, this special skill that we have honed and polished into a veritable art, brought us any joy or satisfaction ? When we have successfully and loudly judged and accused everyone, are our problems anywhere near to being solved? Are we at peace and contented with our singular achievement?
