Why complain when you have: 

Eyes that see
Ears that hear
A mouth that speaks
A nose that smells
Feet that walk
Attached to legs that run
And a mind that reasons. 

No matter what you might lack
There is still something 
To be thankful for everyday!
Change your perspective 
And change your life.

We must live our lives
In the sphere of gratitude
To feel the presence of God 
A complaining spirit misses out 
But the good news is
We always have a choice.

When you find yourself
Focusing on what's wrong
Change the channel in your mind
You've heard it said
Count your blessings
Instead of complaining.

With so many people homeless and hungry
Take time to thank God that you have: 
A roof over your head and privacy 
Food to eat
Facilities to keep your body clean
A warm bed to sleep in
And clothes to wear. 

And if by chance you don't have these things start thanking Him in advance. Thank Him while you're hoping for your needs because "Faith is the substance of things HOPED for, the evidence of things not seen".  KJV

Gratitude is the fuel for Hope and Happiness.  Count your blessings to change your life.  Focus on and appreciate what you do have.  Embrace the presence of God with Gratitude.  And let Him handle the rest.
