No grumbling or complaining Aunty Beryl

In a world increasingly filled with negativity, Aunty Beryl reminds us of the importance of patience and gratitude as reflected in James 5:7-9 and Philippians 2:12-16. Grumbling and complaining can lead to isolation and hinder our potential to be solutions in challenging situations. Instead, we are encouraged to seek prayer, maintain a positive attitude, affirm others, and focus on praising the Lord. By choosing patience and positivity, we can transform our communities and shine like stars in the universe, embodying the love and grace of Christ.

See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. 8You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. 9Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!

  4. Philippians 2 12Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose 14Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16as you hold out the word of life
