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
Philippians 2:14-15
Misery loves company. When one person starts complaining it becomes infectous, and honestly, I feel like my whole day goes down the tubes. Granted there are times when life is tough, but Paul says that we should be content no matter what our circumstances. We should praise God all the time, and turn a negative situation into a more positive one, by changing our mind set. Instead of complaining, take a minute, refocus, and praise God. I find when I do this, I am a much better example of Christ.

This started as a way for Stacy and I to focus our attentions on Things From Above instead of the distractions, heart aches, disappointments, and false truths the world throws our way. I hope that through our sharings, all who read will be able to come closer to understanding the fullness of God's amazing love. ~Tamara
