- 4. Gratitude vs. Indebtedness The emotions lead to different actions; indebtedness can motivate the recipient of the aid to avoid the person who has helped them, whereas gratitude can motivate the recipient to seek out their benefactor and to improve their relationship with them. (wikipedia)

Notas do Editor
- Gratitude and Grace are inseparably linked: They share the common latin root gratus. Among the English words from the same root are “grace”, ”agree," "congratulate," "disgrace," "gratify," "gratis," "gratitude," "gratuitous" and “ingratiate." From the seeds of grace come gratitude. If God sows grace in us it stands to reason that He will also reap gratitude from us.
- But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men. (2 Timothy 3:1-9 ESV)
- The Greek word translated “complainer” means literally “one who is discontented with his lot in life.” It is akin to the word grumbler.
- grinch - someone who tries to stop people enjoying themselves ingrate - someone who is not grateful in the way they should be perfectionist - someone who always wants things to be done perfectly purist - someone who wants people to be correct, and to follow rules carefully, especially in language and the arts stickler - someone who thinks that a particular thing is very important and who thinks that other people should feel the same critic - someone who does not like something and states their opinion about it misery - someone who is always complaining or in a bad mood wet blanket - someone who spoils other people’s fun by being negative and complaining scourge - someone in a position of power who criticizes people severely shrew - an insulting word for a woman who always complains, argues, or nags
- The first complainer was Adam who, after he and Eve disobeyed, complained to God that “the woman you put here with me – she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it”
- At Ft. Wilderness I found myself looking for a valid complaint so I could get some free stuff.
- Foods bad
- Beds hard
- Sometimes our complaining is quiet we call that murmuring!
- Optimist
- Pessimist
- Chronic complainers see: A glass that is slightly chipped holding water that isn't cold enough, probably because it’s tap water when I asked for bottled water and wait, there's a smudge on the rim too, which means the glass wasn't cleaned properly and now I'll probably end up with some kind of virus—why do these things always happen to me?!As long as they believe that it is another’s responsibility to be the adult for them and fill them with love, they will not take on this responsibility for themselves.
- If the past is any example, the future will be just as complaint-laden. Rabbi Jay Kelman, a Jewish educator in Toronto, says the Bible talks of the incessant grumbling by the Jews who were led out of Egypt. “They complained about drinks, the leadership, the desert,” he said. They complained that the miraculous substance that sustained them, manna, didn’t taste like real meat. “They’re taken out as slaves from Egypt and they’re kvetching about everything.” But, he said, there is a distinction in the Bible between good complaining and bad complaining, “You should complain about social justice,” Rabbi Kelman said. “It shows you are concerned. You don’t want to be too indifferent to complain. But along with the complaint, there has to be action.” Everyone I talked to agreed on that. Just complaining without doing anything about it can make us feel victimized and powerless, Mr. Winch said. But when we get a complaint successfully resolved, we feel we have accomplished something and empowered. And, hopefully, made a positive change.
- A Complaint Free World, a movement started by Rev. Will Bowen. People complain 15-30 times a day on average, but this complaining really doesn’t do any good. And Bowen has a simple idea for fixing it. Just put on one of his purple bracelets. If you ever complain, switch it to the other wrist. When you keep it on the same wrist for 21 days in a row, you’ve established a habit of not complaining, and life is better.
- Here is the challenge: 1. Begin to wear the bracelet on either wrist. 2. When you catch yourself complaining, gossiping, or criticizing, move the bracelet to the other wrist and begin again. 3. If you hear someone else who is wearing a purple bracelet complain, it's okay to point out their need to switch the bracelet to the other arm; BUT if you're going to do this, you must move your bracelet first! Because you are complaining about their complaining. 4. Stay with it. It may take many months to reach 21 consecutive days. The average is 4 to 8 months.
