Dear Mom,
We just don’t like it when our kids complain about making beds, or emptying garbage or some other chore; and did you know the Bible says to do everything without complaining? God’s word is so practical; even down to doing things without grumbling. What a great principle for ourselves and to teach to our children. No complaining in this house!
Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. (Philippians 2:14,15, NLT)
