Thank you for your comment, Janet! I’ll have to admit I’m the same-my complaining spirit often “rears its ugly head” when I’m tired! As my preacher-brother says, “Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is take a nap!” 🙂

I agree Kim…it can be as simple as spilling something on the floor. You can look at that mess and complain and call yourself all kinds of names and grumble as you clean it up, all the while fostering a bitter spirit. Or, you can say to yourself, Oh…that wasn’t very convenient, clean it up with a smile on your face and think…well, my floor needed to be washed anyway! You move on with your day and have a sweet spirit. I try to remember that as I go through my day. Working night shift and often being tired cuts down the length of time my patience holds out, but I know that is never an excuse. I ask the Lord’s forgiveness for my impatience and have learned another lesson for the day!

Thanks Kim! I wish my Growling in the morning would make everything go my way! I’ve got to get into His Word to help me let Him rule this day! He must increase, I must decrease! If I do this it makes for a lot less growling in our home!❤
