Very good, and I am guilty of a few of these...made me look at myself. Good stuff! God showed me recently that when we complain about anything, we have a complaining spirit..which means virtually we are blaming God for our lot.
So,praise is the answer...praise Him for everthing, it may not change a problem but it will change us.
Bless you. Crystal Lindsey
