ns QUOTE="p_rehbein, post: 4862316, member: 174109"]Some folks sit around whining, crying, complaining, woeismeing about how tough things are for them, and how hard they struggle just to live. I'm sure everyone here knows someone like this. So, I was wondering...........
WHAT IF GOD WERE TO SAY:
"Hey! Knock it off! Instead of whining, crying, complaining, woeismeing all day long, try counting your blessings! And while your at it; GET YOUR BUTT UP and get busy doing what I purposed you to do!""
I wonder......hmm.................[/QUOTE]
Well, if he could say that I'd ask him to get real specific on what he's purposed me to do.
Sometimes whining, especially crying, and woeismeing, happens because life's hits keep on coming regardless of how hard someone works , prays, to overcome the hurdles God sets before them. Hurdles that from time to time outnumber the blessings.
And while it is a blessing to be alive, that just means more time to encounter the hurdles. And one more day not to find rest in the arms of God.
