Stop Whining
The hard part about me writing an article about whining is that its going to sound like I’m whining when I write it. In a sense, I guess I am. Realistically, I hate whining and I hate listening to people whine. Whining, Complaining, Griping, Grumbling, Venting, Murmuring, etc… are all the same to me. I find myself listening for a little while and saying things like, “Well, you know it could be worst.” I had a couple I was counseling whose husband was a slob. He really was. He left the toilet seat up, dirty socks and underwear laying on the floor, and never put anything away. No, it wasn’t me. After listening to the wife complain (legitimately so, some would say), I finally said, “Let’s say that I’m God and I look down out of heaven and say, ‘Boy oh boy do I love my daughter Susie (the wife’s fictitious name), but if there was one thing I would like to see changed about her, it would be _________________.”‘ “How would you fill in that blank?” I asked Susie. She said that God would want her to be more patient. I simply asked, “Do you think God is using your husbands sloppyness to make you more patient like Christ?”
Of course, her husband looked up from his downcast face with a smile and said, “Yeah, honey!” “We’ll get to you in a minute” I said. She smiled and said, “I’ve never thought of it that way.”

I promise that if you’ll take this biblical approach to solving your communication and conflict resolution problems, you’ll begin to experience the freedom and joy of being at peace with all men.
