THINK BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN
by Lewis E. Thomas
THINK BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN!
An old man complained and complained about his neighbor's dogs barking and making noise obscene!
So, God took his ability to hear away, and for the rest of his life he couldn't "HEAR" a thing!
Another complained about having to get up early each morning to go to work every day!
So, God took his job away and now he is homeless, so you better watch what you say!
Another complained: I'm tired of seeing all the lawlessness in my neighborhood, things here used to be just fine!
So, God took away his eye sight so he would no longer have to "SEE" the crime!
Another complained about his nagging wife who he said was "ALWAYS" running her mouth!
So, God took her to Heaven the next night and now a "LONELY SILENCE" fills every room in his house!
Another complained about having to "WALK" to her mailbox each and every day!
God took her ability to walk away and today she rides a "Hoveround", what more can I say?
In all things "GIVE THANKS" so says the holy "WORD of GOD"!
How are you doing with that or do you think my question to be odd?
Let us all weigh our words carefully before we speak and before we "COMPLAIN"!
Complaining can produce unexpected results that can cause us "MUCH" heartache and pain!
It is easy to "COMPLAIN" and we have all been guilty of it from time to time!
God reminded me that he isn't pleased with it so He moved on me to write this little rhyme.
Think before you complain...

Ref:
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
