Resting in Life's Moments

The one thing that I have learned this year is how quickly life can change and how we spend to much time complaining about what is wrong  in our lives instead of "Resting in Life's Moments".

I must admit this particle post was not my original idea.  The seed was planted in my spirit when I attended a Wednesday night bible study at "LightChurch" in Mesquite TX.
Every since I heard and receive the message I have become sensitized about what comes out of my mouth.  I automatically begin to shut down when people start complaining.

The scripture of focus was Philippians 2:14.  


EVERYTHING, covers a lot of ground.  I am not a big complainer by no means but I do complain. I complain about having to go to work while on the other hand I am thanking God that I have a job. 

Does one action cancel out the other?  
Should we consider this to be a double negative?  

Whether we are in church or at a business event the message is the same.  Negativity has an adverse affect on the speaker and the receiver.

So why entitle this post "Resting in life's Moments" and not " Don't be Lame, Don't Complain".  I must admit that made me smile.

Often, when we complain we are letting life's precious moment pass us by.  For every complaint there is a missed opportunity to be a blessing to someone else.  I believe accountability is the key to change so I am challenging myself, as well as you, to rest in life's moments.

I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.
