Letter: Why are we grumbling?

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Did we not wake up to our coffee this morning?

Are all of our appliances working?

Is it not a new day?

Shouldn’t we be praising the Lord for all our blessings when we awake?

Do we realize how much the Father has done for us and given us?

Shame on us!

Wake up people! It’s time to worship Jesus for each other and what he is doing.

Step outside — can you feel the wind on your face?

Can we hear children laugh?

These are gifts from God.

Did you see the grass is turning green and the birds and frogs are singing praises to the Lord most high.

Let’s draw close to our Father because he draws closer to us.

Here is another one. We have phones, let’s call each other and tell each other we love one another.

Did Jesus not die for us, then rose so that if we believe in him, we can live forever in heaven with him?

Did he not do this so we can be forgiven of our sins and be set free?

So let’s rejoice in all that Jesus is doing. Jesus is our greatest inspiration.

Philippians 4:4-7: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

P.S. Thank you, all of you, who are working to provide services and care for us.
