"Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless,
children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom
you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life..." (Phil. 2:14-16)
Benjamin Franklin once said, "The sentence which has most influenced my life is, 'Some persons
grumble because God placed thorns among roses. Why not thank God because He placed roses
among thorns?' I first read it when but a mere lad. Since that day it has occupied a front room in
my life and has given it an optimistic trend."
Let us not be constant complainers, but rejoice and thank God for His manifold blessings.
