THINK BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN
by Lewis E. Thomas THINK BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN!
A man complained and complained about annoying sounds in his neighborhood that made him want to scream!
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 and I had better watch what we 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 eyesight so he would no longer have to "SEE" all 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 begin to "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.
