DON’T BE A GRUMBLER                                   Tuesday - August 31, 2010

“These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.” – Jude 1:16

The London Telegram newspaper compiled a listing of the 20 ridiculous complaints made by holidaymakers (those on vacation). It is a listing of true complaints made to hotels throughout the world. Here are some of the most noteworthy complaints:
"The beach was too sandy."
"We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white."
"I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite."
"We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming suits and towels."
"No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled."
"It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home."
A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.

Grumbling begets grumbling. When we complain we are only practicing for our next complaint. Today in prayer, confess any constant grumbling in your own life and seek to find peace in Jesus Christ. 

“Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.” – Alphonse Karr

God’s Word: “Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!” – James 5:9
