According to the Scriptures, complaining and thanksgiving are both multipliers. Complaining multiplies scarcity, fear, futility, and purposelessness; while thanksgiving multiplies a few loaves and fishes to feed all who are present, with plenty left over. Thank you to my newest Friends of the Show, Jannifer S, and Carolyn McK, for loving and lifting me! Friends

Once, when wallowing in suffering and complaining to God, “Why me?”, He answered me with, “Why not you?” It was a sobering question that re-ordered my negative thinking toward thankfulness for all the terrible things I didn’t have that I could.

Perhaps we think back to the Garden of Eden and imagine how glorious it would be to live like Adam and Eve in Paradise before the fall, with our souls clear and free and full of light, and in full and immediate control of the appetites of the body. Or we try to imagine our
