1 Peter 4:9 ESV "Show hospitality to one another without grumbling." It finally got to me where I had to say something! Today's Word speaks of hospitality and doing it with a cheerful heart! No sooner did we start the project, when the complaining began. We had offered our time and talents to help a local family with some house repairs and right off the bat, the complaining began. I tried to dismiss it but it got to the point that I had to say something. I told the guys who did the most complaining, that if they didn't want to be there, then leave. We were offering our services free of charge to help others, not to help ourselves. Maybe it was the guilt they were feeling or they realized the purpose of volunteering but the complaining stopped and we got back to work. Sometimes the Truth hurts but if we are honest with where we are and why we do what we do, we may just stop complaining and get to work! peace, tom
