Grumbling or Gratitude?



November. The season of Thanksgiving or just the beginning of the season for grumbling and complaining.

It's always a choice, isn't it?

How some can walk past the same scenery, blind to the beauty before them and others awed and inspired, is an age old mystery wrapped up in the will of all mankind. 

How some will behold the breathtaking beauty and carefully consider their own ways, and others will disregard with their actions, littering and destroying that which lies before them.

How some will walk through the fires of adversity, clinging to to faith, coming through refined, while others hearts will harden and become callous.

We look at the same thing, yet see through eyes of personal experience.

I see one thing, you see another.

Yet if we adjust the eyes, by the one who creates all things, how much better we might see. 

Perhaps, in due season, we will see clearly, after all. 


 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
~2 Corinthians 3:18


Grumbling or gratitude, the choice before us. Always. 
So what will you choose?
