Philippians 2:14(NKJV)
14Do all things without complaining and
disputing,
Great piece of
advice. Do all things without complaining. Nobody likes a complainer or a whiner. Not complaining is also part of a good work
ethic.
When our kids were
young we wanted to teach them a good work ethic. So one of the things that we did was give
them Saturday morning chores that they had to do. They got paid for the chores they did on
Saturday morning. But here was the
catch.
They had to do their
chores cheerfully to get paid. If they
whined and complained they still had to do their chores, they just didn't get
paid that week. We've got bright kids and
they caught on quickly. It only took not
getting paid once or twice and that was the end of the whining and
complaining. Now I'm not saying that
they loved doing their chores, just that they learned the lesson of Philippians
2:14!
