...without grumbling or questioning

Phillipians. A beautiful book with a great verse on doing without grumbling or complaining. That little nugget hit the spot today. I was overtired (my own doing) and everything seemed to go wrong. Also, my two precious boys were in their own fesity moods (probably because I was tired and grumpy) so needless to say by about 2:oo, I was exhausted physically, emotionally and spirtually. I am working on an Acts study at my church that referenced Phillipians. I came across Phil 2: 14-15.

Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.

This is a slightly different translation than my Bible but it just really reminded me that my sufferings are so small and to truly do everything for God. Because if you are working for God with joy in your heart, what is their to complain about?
