Please, stop complaining!

If all you do is complain about your husband and kids then why did you get married and have kids? Be thankful that God has blessed you with a husband & children that will put up with you. You should WANT to care for them. Don't fail God, your husband and your children because you're stuck on the negatives, be the BEST ...positive woman you can be for your family and cherish them, don't complain about them.

Our husbands and children hear so much negativity in the outside world every single day, our home needs to be their safe haven where they can escape the negativities of everyday life. Our home needs to be different than the outside world. If you complain about picking up his socks everyday (I'm guilty), who is that really effecting?? YOU. When I complain about picking up his socks it makes me feel anxious and upset..when I just do it without complaining, the job is done and I didn't get myself worked up about it.

HERE'S A CHALLENGE - FOR ONE WHOLE WEEK YOU CAN NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT *ANYTHING*. DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF PERSON YOU ARE THIS COULD BE EASY OR IT COULD BE VERY DIFFICULT. COMPLAINING BRINGS EVERYONE DOWN, INCLUDING YOURSELF. SO FOR ONE WEEK, WE WILL LET GO OF THE NEGATIVITY THAT SURROUNDS OUR LIVES.

Here's a mental picture for you.... you build a beautiful sandcastle on the beach. You are in awe over the job you did building this sandcastle and pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Now imagine waves starting to come onto the shore and little by little eat away at your gorgeous sandcastle. You watch your sandcastle be destroyed as each little wave comes higher and higher upon the shoreline. Pretty soon the beautiful sandcastle your poured your heart and soul into building is destroyed.

Now picture this - that sandcastle is your family/your home and the waves are the negativity and constant complaining that your family hears. You put so much time and effort into loving and building your family but everytime you complain or are negative it just keeps eating away at them until you've destroyed what you once put your heart and soul into. Think back as to why you built that sandcastle in the first place and how beautiful you thought it was and get your priorities back in order ♥
