We blame everything.

in think tank.
Early morning on the set with nothing much to do. I write the thoughts that were on my heart yesterday.
We complain about everything. And at the heart of complaining is blame. We like to blame others, other than ourselves, blame almost everything else.
Increasingly I find myself becoming like that. The more I intern, the more I complain. While journaling yesterday morning, I realized that the hardest thing for me not to do is to not complain. Complaining reveals a heart of ungratefulness. It was humbling to know that though seemingly there is so much to complain about, God has given me so much to be thankful for too.
I bury my complains in the dust. There is nothing to complain about because my God has provided abundantly enough. Though the long hours take a toll on my young body (maybe not so young anymore!), I thank God for youth. To be able to do this job without having backaches or feeling too tired the next day.
Today promises to be a new day says psalm 118:24: this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Yesterday’s clouds have gone away. Yesterday’s complains and blames are buried in the dust.
All I want to do today is to be grateful. No complains, best I can, shall come out from these lips. It begins now: God, thank you for allowing me to get out o bed this morning and to be reminded of psalm 118:24.
Teach me to have a thankful heart. Cos’ a servant’s heart is one that’s always thankful.
