A Complaining Family
On the way home from church one Sunday, the Stewart Family begins to complain. Dad complains about the deacon who he believes is trying to make all the decisions. Mom, ignoring Dad’s complaint, starts complaining about how long the pastor preaches. She thinks he needs to be done earlier so everyone can go home to eat and have time to rest before the evening service. The teenage daughter begins complaining about how another girl had talked to her about something she said this morning and the little brother began complaining about how hungry he was and wished Dad would drive faster so they could get home to eat.
Evaluate the Stewart Family’s comments. What do you think their attitudes were like when they left church?
How could the Mom have changed the direction of the conversation?
What could the family be thankful about instead of their complaining?
