“That teacher gives too much homework!” “Why does my Mom make ME take out the trash all the time？” “Work, work, work, that’s all I ever do. I never get to play like the other kids.”
“那个老师留这么多作业！”“为什么我妈妈老让我倒垃圾？”“功课，功课，一天到晚做功课，我从来没有象其他的小朋友一样玩。”
Maybe YOU have said things like this before. Those kinds of remarks are called complaining or grumbling. God’s Word in Philippians 2：14 calls it murmurings. Let’s read that verse together:Do all things without murmurings and disputings. Disputing means arguing. God says we are to do all that we do without complaining and arguing. Think back over your week. How many times have you complained, or argued？
也许你以前说过这样的话。这叫做“抱怨”。圣经在腓立比书第2章第14节叫它“发怨言。”跟我一起来说这节圣经：“凡所行的，都不要发怨言，起争论。””争论”就是辩论，争吵。圣经说我们所做的一切都不要抱怨，争论。想想你在上一个星期，有没有发过怨言，与人争论呢？
Let’s think of two “C” words. COMPLAINING is just the opposite of being CONTENT. Contented means being satisfied and thankful with what you have. If you could choose between a contented person or a complaining person, which would you choose for a best friend？Of course! Because it’s fun to be with a happy contented person. But who wants to listen to complaining and arguing？
让我们来看看两个都是以英文字母C开头的字：“抱怨”与“满足”。这两个字的意思是相反的。“满足”就是对于你已经拥有的感到知足，并心里感激。如果有两个人，一个经常感到满足，另一个经常抱怨，你愿意选那一个做你的好朋友呢？当然！和一个经常快乐满足的人在一起是很有趣的。谁喜欢一天到晚听别人的抱怨和争论呢？
