me.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t put it this bluntly but I heard it this bluntly.\u00a0 Dennis, quit your whining.\u00a0 Quit your griping and complaining.\u00a0 Roll up your sleeves and decide how you are going to respond.\u00a0 Okay, that feels better.\u00a0 Who is next?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I\u2019ll go next.\u00a0 First of all I want to say how grateful I am

Bob.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 As I was thinking about this subject of gratitude and thinking what is the opposite?\u00a0 Is it whining and grumbling and complaining?\u00a0 I think one manifestation of the opposite of it.\u00a0 I\u2019m not really much of a whiner, grumbler or complainer.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think, am I ?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Bob\u2019s wife is out listening to us here.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I\u2019m not trying to drag

it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Mary Ann:<\/strong>\u00a0 What is the question?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 In general am I a whiner, grumbler, and complainer?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Her head is shaking sideways.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Can you think of an area where I am a whiner, grumbler and complainer?\u00a0 She shook her head sideways again.\u00a0 So my wife has just validated that that is not generally true about me.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 And I want to make a comment here because I think you have just given us an illustration of it.\u00a0 I think certain families don\u2019t necessarily experience this like others do.\u00a0 I think some families have as a part of the DNA I do think they gripe, grumble, and complain.\u00a0 That is one of the chief things they need to deal with.\u00a0 That may not be where you struggle.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Here\u2019s how I would express ingratitude.\u00a0 I just kind of blow on past the things that I ought to stop and reflect and be thankful about.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to be grumbler to be ungrateful.\u00a0 You can be ungrateful simply by your silence.\u00a0 By not acknowledging what others have done.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Are you talking about people you work with?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I\u2019m thinking of going to a little retirement celebration we had a number of years ago for a colleague.\u00a0 At this particular event everybody stepped forward and they were reflecting on this man and his impact in their lives as we worked side by side in the ministry.\u00a0 All of the people who worked for him talked about how he would often come in and say how are you doing?\u00a0 How can I pray for you?\u00a0 He cared about these folks.\u00a0 And I thought it isn\u2019t going to sound like this at my retirement party?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNobody is going to come in and say Bob came by and said how are you doing and how can we pray for you?\u00a0 I think what I do in terms of ingratitude is just the assumption that \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 That everybody knows?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 No, it\u2019s not the assumption that everybody knows but it is the assumption of you\u2019ve done what you ought to do and I don\u2019t necessarily express thanks for what you have done.\u00a0 We just move on and life is going on.\u00a0 So I\u2019m not a grumbler.\u00a0 I\u2019m just not an acknowledger.\u00a0 Is that making sense?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, gratitude really has to do with a heart of recognizing the benefits that we have received from God and others but also expressing those benefits.\u00a0 Being intentional about saying to the Lord and to others thank you.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 That is not going to get you off the hook from answering the question Nancy.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 I\u2019ll be glad to.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 That was a great answer.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Let me find out from my wife.\u00a0 Would you agree with that appraisal?\u00a0 Yes, she\u2019s going yes.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 So Nancy where do you struggle?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think for me it comes most often in dealing with the pressures and challenges of ministry and work load and demands on my time.\u00a0 When I feel stretched and stressed like there is more to do in the day than there are hours.\u00a0 Or there are changes taking place that put me under pressure I find myself more focused on the challenges, the problems and the negatives rather than my first reaction being one of faith, gratitude, humility.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLord, you are big enough to handle this and it\u2019s a privilege for me to have meaningful work.\u00a0 Yes, there is a lot of it but I think as a result sometimes people who know me best would or could conclude that knowing the Lord and walking with him as serving with him is burdensome.\u00a0 That is one of the things that was convicting to me as I worked on this book because I do love the Lord.\u00a0 I do love serving him and it is a great privilege.\u00a0 I realize the people who spend a lot of time with me may think I don\u2019t think I\u2019d want her job.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think I would want to be sold out the Lord if that is what it is like.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure I want that.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want people to feel that way.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 No, that is a good word.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Barbara, how about you?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 I would agree with what Dennis said about inconveniences and interruptions but I would also say and this was particularly true of me when I was raising kids.\u00a0 I had a really hard time being grateful when I felt unappreciated.\u00a0 I think because being a servant is not my natural bent but that was what I had to do so much as a mother.\u00a0 I was constantly serving seven people in the household.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere were times when I didn\u2019t get much in the way of thanks or appreciation and my well would run dry and instead of doing it as unto the Lord even though in the back of my mind I would have said that was what I was doing I was really looking for some thanks. Good job.\u00a0 We really appreciate you, mom.\u00a0 There wasn\u2019t a lot of that and children aren\u2019t prone to do that anyway so I knew I was expecting something that was pretty unlikely. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think what you are describing is something probably every mom of young kids is going to wrestle with.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think so.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>So what does she do as she\u2019s raising two or three toddlers?\u00a0 Or two or three young kids who aren\u2019t saying thank you mommy?\u00a0 Rather they are sometimes whining about stuff they shouldn\u2019t whine about and you go this is for the birds.\u00a0 How do you get from there to gratitude?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 It reminds me of a story, Bob, that I heard years ago when I was raising kids.\u00a0 It\u2019s a story that one of the granddaughters tells about her mother.\u00a0\u00a0 It was back before e-mail days and she was writing her mother a letter about all the loads of laundry she had to do and how hard life was.\u00a0 Ruth Graham wrote her back and said, be thankful you have a washing machine.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember when I read that story because I was in the thick of it too.\u00a0 I was overwhelmed with how much laundry I had to do and how little thanks I got if any for doing the laundry and cooking the meals and going to the grocery store and cleaning up the apple juice on the floor and on and on and on.\u00a0 It was a good reminder to me that even in the midst of that burden and it is a burden to care for children there were still things for which I could give thanks.\u00a0 It was a reminder to me and I didn\u2019t do it very well.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was a reminder to me that in the midst of hard things there are still things that I could find to give thanks for if I would just look for them.\u00a0 By doing so it takes my eyes off of myself which is really the whole problem for me.\u00a0\u00a0 I was feeling sorry for myself a lot but I could choose to give thanks for the fact that I had a washing machine and we had hot and cold running water and we had air conditioning and heat and beds and on and on and on.\u00a0 It took my eyes off of myself and put them back where they belonged on God.\u00a0 It helped bring some balance to that stress of raising children.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think that spirit then affects others because ingratitude, grumbling, murmuring, and complaining is toxic.\u00a0 Who wants to be around that kind of person?\u00a0 So if we have the self pity and the whining people are going to distance themselves from us and we aren\u2019t going to get any more thanks that way.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 When we have a grateful spirit and I think about some people I know who against all odds in some cases are really grateful people even with tough circumstances.\u00a0 You are drawn to them and they are life giving springs\u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u2026rather than contaminating or polluting the atmosphere they bring joy and life.\u00a0 I think that\u2019s the kind of person I want to be.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Bill Bright was that way.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy: <\/strong>\u00a0Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 When Bill Bright heard that Campus Crusades\u2019 headquarters was on fire what did he do?\u00a0 He broke out in prayer, giving thanks to God and praising God.\u00a0 Now that is real natural.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It really was his style.\u00a0 He said if praise is the language of heaven then I want to practice it here and now so that when I get there I\u2019ll know how to do it.\u00a0 I learned a lot of things from him that were not natural to me that I\u2019m trying to practice as I live life.\u00a0 In fact that is really the question I have for you Nancy because we\u2019ve gone around in a circle here and confessed where we struggle all except Bob\u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I confessed it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, I\u2019m kidding Bob.\u00a0 If we have a habit of being whiners, gripers and complainers where do we start to break the habit pattern?\u00a0 Because it really is a habit and it\u2019s a way of thinking.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>For me the starting place repeatedly because I fall into that default pattern to easily is to just acknowledge it for what it is.\u00a0 It\u2019s sin.\u00a0 I\u2019ll say this is a weakness or I\u2019m just carrying this burden or I blame my circumstances but to confess it to the Lord as sin.\u00a0 And to have people in my life who will love me enough to get in my face and say you are whining.\u00a0 Or you are not expressing gratitude.\u00a0 I thank the Lord for those people.\u00a0 So just to acknowledge it for starters.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then I think to develop a mind set of starting to notice and express positive gratitude for the little things and the big things.\u00a0 One of the things we do in this book which I felt would be helpful for others if they are like myself and need transformation in this area is the back part of the book is a 30 day devotional guide to growing in gratitude over 30 days.\u00a0 You don\u2019t just read a book like this.\u00a0 Writing or reading a book on gratitude doesn\u2019t make you grateful.\u00a0 But taking the time over a period of days or weeks or months to consciously focus on what I have to be grateful for and saying thank you that discipline can become a way of life for us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>You quote Charles Haddon Spurgeon who said let us daily praise God for common mercies and then you make a list of a bunch of them.\u00a0 It was back to Barbara\u2019s statement about a washing machine.\u00a0 After we\u2019ve worked in the yard, Nancy, one of my prayers when we\u2019ll be lying in bed I\u2019ll say to God, \u201cThank you that you have given Barbara and me healthy bodies to be able to work in the yard.\u201d\u00a0 We enjoy that together and we may not be able to always do that.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to express a heart of gratitude to God for the common mercies.\u00a0 The simple things he gives us day in and day out.\u00a0 That is a beginning place, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 I have a friend who talked about one day as he was brushing his teeth just meditating on this verse, \u201cin everything give thanks.\u201d\u00a0 He realized that he had never stopped to thank the Lord for healthy teeth and then he said this.\u00a0 He said, if tomorrow\u2019s supply depending on today\u2019s thanksgiving, if we would only have tomorrow that which we thanked the Lord for today how much would we have tomorrow.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Wow.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>It got me started thinking about the little things.\u00a0 The little things you listed are common mercies as Spurgeon called them but there are uncommon mercies too those unseen but very real mercies of God.\u00a0 The fact that not only has he saved me but he\u2019s keeping me saved by his grace and his power.\u00a0 All that we have waiting for us in heaven and in eternity and all of God\u2019s blessings, the spiritual blessings in heavenly places that Ephesians 1 tells us that we have in Christ.\u00a0 If I didn\u2019t have any more of that then when I stop to thank God for I would be a pauper but by God\u2019s mercy I am rich in Christ.\u00a0 I want to be the kind of person who notices those things and says to him thank you.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>So we break the habit by beginning to give thanks about the little things in our lives that God brings us and the big things like salvation.\u00a0 Also, I think we need to give thanks for friends, family members, and our spouse.\u00a0 I think it is really easy to take one another for granted.\u00a0 Barbara and I have talked about this.\u00a0 So many couples allow their love for one another to grow stale because they don\u2019t express a heart of gratitude for the gift the other one is to them and in their lives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>We can think of this as kind of a social grace and something that we need to cultivate because it is proper.\u00a0 It\u2019s right to say thank you and to cultivate a heart that expresses gratitude but I want to reflect back on what you said earlier when you said we need to acknowledge ingratitude as a sin.\u00a0 Why do you think it is that God is offended by an ungrateful spirit?\u00a0 If I don\u2019t say thank you or if I grumble towards somebody else how is that an offense before God?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 On the last program Barbara said that unbelief is the root of ingratitude and I think that is true.\u00a0 But I think another root of ingratitude is just simply pride.\u00a0 It is self focus, self centeredness, expectations and a sense of entitlement.\u00a0 We are the most affluent generation in the history of the world in this country and yet I was reading today that statistics say Americans today are no happier than they were 50 years ago.\u00a0 We have more and we have so many privileges that most of the rest of the world will never experience but we are miserable.\u00a0 We are depressed and angry and bitter and I think that is because we are ungrateful people.\u00a0 I think we are ungrateful because we are proud, self centered.\u00a0 We are focused on what we think we deserve rather than being humble hearted.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI read an illustration about the members of the Massai tribe in West Africa who understand this connection between humility and gratitude.\u00a0 When they want to say thank you they bow down and they literally put their forehead on the ground and then they say, \u201cMy head is in the dirt.\u201d\u00a0 That is their way of saying thank you.\u00a0 There is a humility that is demonstrated when we say thank you.\u00a0 I think as a way of life we need to have that heart attitude toward the Lord that says my head is in the dirt.\u00a0 Not because I am dirt but because I recognize that you are God and you are good and you are great and before you and in comparison to you I am as nothing.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think, too, that God is offended by our ingratitude because he is our father.\u00a0 In the same way we who are parents feel an offense when our children have an attitude of ingratitude for what we do for them.\u00a0 We would have nothing were in not for what God has done for us.\u00a0 Just as our children would have nothing if the parents who brought them into this world didn\u2019t care for them and love them and provide for them those children would have nothing.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe analogy is that same.\u00a0 We as people would have nothing if it weren\u2019t for what God has done for us.\u00a0 I think he is offended because he deserves our gratitude as his children and we are so reluctant to give it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Even if your kids are grateful to you but you watch them whine and complain with one another you\u2019re still offended by the fact that they can\u2019t get along with one another as your kids.\u00a0 I\u2019m thinking again we may express gratitude toward God but if we can\u2019t get along with one another God looks at that and goes \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 You don\u2019t get it.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes.\u00a0 Grow up.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You say you love me with

lists.\u00a0 A list of 10 things you are thankful for and maybe have your kids do it.\u00a0 Secondly, make a list of 10 people you are thankful for and then pick one of those 10 and write them a thank you letter.\u00a0 For no reason other than just their friendship and faithfulness to you and what they have meant to you.\u00a0 I\u2019m talking about a hand written letter.\u00a0 Not an e-mail.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Oh, man.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 That is real

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWelcome to <em>FamilyLife Today;<\/em> thanks for joining us.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been reflecting on what we are talking about this week on the subject of gratitude and

me.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t put it this bluntly but I heard it this bluntly.\u00a0 Dennis, quit your whining.\u00a0 Quit your griping and complaining.\u00a0 Roll up your sleeves and decide how you are going to respond.\u00a0 Okay, that feels better.\u00a0 Who is next?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I\u2019ll go next.\u00a0 First of all I want to say how grateful I am

Bob.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 As I was thinking about this subject of gratitude and thinking what is the opposite?\u00a0 Is it whining and grumbling and complaining?\u00a0 I think one manifestation of the opposite of it.\u00a0 I\u2019m not really much of a whiner, grumbler or complainer.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think, am I ?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Bob\u2019s wife is out listening to us here.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I\u2019m not trying to drag

it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Mary Ann:<\/strong>\u00a0 What is the question?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 In general am I a whiner, grumbler, and complainer?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Her head is shaking sideways.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Can you think of an area where I am a whiner, grumbler and complainer?\u00a0 She shook her head sideways again.\u00a0 So my wife has just validated that that is not generally true about me.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 And I want to make a comment here because I think you have just given us an illustration of it.\u00a0 I think certain families don\u2019t necessarily experience this like others do.\u00a0 I think some families have as a part of the DNA I do think they gripe, grumble, and complain.\u00a0 That is one of the chief things they need to deal with.\u00a0 That may not be where you struggle.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Here\u2019s how I would express ingratitude.\u00a0 I just kind of blow on past the things that I ought to stop and reflect and be thankful about.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to be grumbler to be ungrateful.\u00a0 You can be ungrateful simply by your silence.\u00a0 By not acknowledging what others have done.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Are you talking about people you work with?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I\u2019m thinking of going to a little retirement celebration we had a number of years ago for a colleague.\u00a0 At this particular event everybody stepped forward and they were reflecting on this man and his impact in their lives as we worked side by side in the ministry.\u00a0 All of the people who worked for him talked about how he would often come in and say how are you doing?\u00a0 How can I pray for you?\u00a0 He cared about these folks.\u00a0 And I thought it isn\u2019t going to sound like this at my retirement party?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNobody is going to come in and say Bob came by and said how are you doing and how can we pray for you?\u00a0 I think what I do in terms of ingratitude is just the assumption that \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 That everybody knows?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 No, it\u2019s not the assumption that everybody knows but it is the assumption of you\u2019ve done what you ought to do and I don\u2019t necessarily express thanks for what you have done.\u00a0 We just move on and life is going on.\u00a0 So I\u2019m not a grumbler.\u00a0 I\u2019m just not an acknowledger.\u00a0 Is that making sense?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, gratitude really has to do with a heart of recognizing the benefits that we have received from God and others but also expressing those benefits.\u00a0 Being intentional about saying to the Lord and to others thank you.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 That is not going to get you off the hook from answering the question Nancy.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 I\u2019ll be glad to.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 That was a great answer.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Let me find out from my wife.\u00a0 Would you agree with that appraisal?\u00a0 Yes, she\u2019s going yes.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 So Nancy where do you struggle?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think for me it comes most often in dealing with the pressures and challenges of ministry and work load and demands on my time.\u00a0 When I feel stretched and stressed like there is more to do in the day than there are hours.\u00a0 Or there are changes taking place that put me under pressure I find myself more focused on the challenges, the problems and the negatives rather than my first reaction being one of faith, gratitude, humility.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLord, you are big enough to handle this and it\u2019s a privilege for me to have meaningful work.\u00a0 Yes, there is a lot of it but I think as a result sometimes people who know me best would or could conclude that knowing the Lord and walking with him as serving with him is burdensome.\u00a0 That is one of the things that was convicting to me as I worked on this book because I do love the Lord.\u00a0 I do love serving him and it is a great privilege.\u00a0 I realize the people who spend a lot of time with me may think I don\u2019t think I\u2019d want her job.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think I would want to be sold out the Lord if that is what it is like.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure I want that.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want people to feel that way.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 No, that is a good word.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Barbara, how about you?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 I would agree with what Dennis said about inconveniences and interruptions but I would also say and this was particularly true of me when I was raising kids.\u00a0 I had a really hard time being grateful when I felt unappreciated.\u00a0 I think because being a servant is not my natural bent but that was what I had to do so much as a mother.\u00a0 I was constantly serving seven people in the household.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere were times when I didn\u2019t get much in the way of thanks or appreciation and my well would run dry and instead of doing it as unto the Lord even though in the back of my mind I would have said that was what I was doing I was really looking for some thanks. Good job.\u00a0 We really appreciate you, mom.\u00a0 There wasn\u2019t a lot of that and children aren\u2019t prone to do that anyway so I knew I was expecting something that was pretty unlikely. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think what you are describing is something probably every mom of young kids is going to wrestle with.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think so.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>So what does she do as she\u2019s raising two or three toddlers?\u00a0 Or two or three young kids who aren\u2019t saying thank you mommy?\u00a0 Rather they are sometimes whining about stuff they shouldn\u2019t whine about and you go this is for the birds.\u00a0 How do you get from there to gratitude?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 It reminds me of a story, Bob, that I heard years ago when I was raising kids.\u00a0 It\u2019s a story that one of the granddaughters tells about her mother.\u00a0\u00a0 It was back before e-mail days and she was writing her mother a letter about all the loads of laundry she had to do and how hard life was.\u00a0 Ruth Graham wrote her back and said, be thankful you have a washing machine.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember when I read that story because I was in the thick of it too.\u00a0 I was overwhelmed with how much laundry I had to do and how little thanks I got if any for doing the laundry and cooking the meals and going to the grocery store and cleaning up the apple juice on the floor and on and on and on.\u00a0 It was a good reminder to me that even in the midst of that burden and it is a burden to care for children there were still things for which I could give thanks.\u00a0 It was a reminder to me and I didn\u2019t do it very well.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was a reminder to me that in the midst of hard things there are still things that I could find to give thanks for if I would just look for them.\u00a0 By doing so it takes my eyes off of myself which is really the whole problem for me.\u00a0\u00a0 I was feeling sorry for myself a lot but I could choose to give thanks for the fact that I had a washing machine and we had hot and cold running water and we had air conditioning and heat and beds and on and on and on.\u00a0 It took my eyes off of myself and put them back where they belonged on God.\u00a0 It helped bring some balance to that stress of raising children.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think that spirit then affects others because ingratitude, grumbling, murmuring, and complaining is toxic.\u00a0 Who wants to be around that kind of person?\u00a0 So if we have the self pity and the whining people are going to distance themselves from us and we aren\u2019t going to get any more thanks that way.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 When we have a grateful spirit and I think about some people I know who against all odds in some cases are really grateful people even with tough circumstances.\u00a0 You are drawn to them and they are life giving springs\u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u2026rather than contaminating or polluting the atmosphere they bring joy and life.\u00a0 I think that\u2019s the kind of person I want to be.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Bill Bright was that way.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy: <\/strong>\u00a0Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 When Bill Bright heard that Campus Crusades\u2019 headquarters was on fire what did he do?\u00a0 He broke out in prayer, giving thanks to God and praising God.\u00a0 Now that is real natural.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It really was his style.\u00a0 He said if praise is the language of heaven then I want to practice it here and now so that when I get there I\u2019ll know how to do it.\u00a0 I learned a lot of things from him that were not natural to me that I\u2019m trying to practice as I live life.\u00a0 In fact that is really the question I have for you Nancy because we\u2019ve gone around in a circle here and confessed where we struggle all except Bob\u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I confessed it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, I\u2019m kidding Bob.\u00a0 If we have a habit of being whiners, gripers and complainers where do we start to break the habit pattern?\u00a0 Because it really is a habit and it\u2019s a way of thinking.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>For me the starting place repeatedly because I fall into that default pattern to easily is to just acknowledge it for what it is.\u00a0 It\u2019s sin.\u00a0 I\u2019ll say this is a weakness or I\u2019m just carrying this burden or I blame my circumstances but to confess it to the Lord as sin.\u00a0 And to have people in my life who will love me enough to get in my face and say you are whining.\u00a0 Or you are not expressing gratitude.\u00a0 I thank the Lord for those people.\u00a0 So just to acknowledge it for starters.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then I think to develop a mind set of starting to notice and express positive gratitude for the little things and the big things.\u00a0 One of the things we do in this book which I felt would be helpful for others if they are like myself and need transformation in this area is the back part of the book is a 30 day devotional guide to growing in gratitude over 30 days.\u00a0 You don\u2019t just read a book like this.\u00a0 Writing or reading a book on gratitude doesn\u2019t make you grateful.\u00a0 But taking the time over a period of days or weeks or months to consciously focus on what I have to be grateful for and saying thank you that discipline can become a way of life for us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>You quote Charles Haddon Spurgeon who said let us daily praise God for common mercies and then you make a list of a bunch of them.\u00a0 It was back to Barbara\u2019s statement about a washing machine.\u00a0 After we\u2019ve worked in the yard, Nancy, one of my prayers when we\u2019ll be lying in bed I\u2019ll say to God, \u201cThank you that you have given Barbara and me healthy bodies to be able to work in the yard.\u201d\u00a0 We enjoy that together and we may not be able to always do that.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to express a heart of gratitude to God for the common mercies.\u00a0 The simple things he gives us day in and day out.\u00a0 That is a beginning place, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 I have a friend who talked about one day as he was brushing his teeth just meditating on this verse, \u201cin everything give thanks.\u201d\u00a0 He realized that he had never stopped to thank the Lord for healthy teeth and then he said this.\u00a0 He said, if tomorrow\u2019s supply depending on today\u2019s thanksgiving, if we would only have tomorrow that which we thanked the Lord for today how much would we have tomorrow.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Wow.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>It got me started thinking about the little things.\u00a0 The little things you listed are common mercies as Spurgeon called them but there are uncommon mercies too those unseen but very real mercies of God.\u00a0 The fact that not only has he saved me but he\u2019s keeping me saved by his grace and his power.\u00a0 All that we have waiting for us in heaven and in eternity and all of God\u2019s blessings, the spiritual blessings in heavenly places that Ephesians 1 tells us that we have in Christ.\u00a0 If I didn\u2019t have any more of that then when I stop to thank God for I would be a pauper but by God\u2019s mercy I am rich in Christ.\u00a0 I want to be the kind of person who notices those things and says to him thank you.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>So we break the habit by beginning to give thanks about the little things in our lives that God brings us and the big things like salvation.\u00a0 Also, I think we need to give thanks for friends, family members, and our spouse.\u00a0 I think it is really easy to take one another for granted.\u00a0 Barbara and I have talked about this.\u00a0 So many couples allow their love for one another to grow stale because they don\u2019t express a heart of gratitude for the gift the other one is to them and in their lives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>We can think of this as kind of a social grace and something that we need to cultivate because it is proper.\u00a0 It\u2019s right to say thank you and to cultivate a heart that expresses gratitude but I want to reflect back on what you said earlier when you said we need to acknowledge ingratitude as a sin.\u00a0 Why do you think it is that God is offended by an ungrateful spirit?\u00a0 If I don\u2019t say thank you or if I grumble towards somebody else how is that an offense before God?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Nancy:<\/strong>\u00a0 On the last program Barbara said that unbelief is the root of ingratitude and I think that is true.\u00a0 But I think another root of ingratitude is just simply pride.\u00a0 It is self focus, self centeredness, expectations and a sense of entitlement.\u00a0 We are the most affluent generation in the history of the world in this country and yet I was reading today that statistics say Americans today are no happier than they were 50 years ago.\u00a0 We have more and we have so many privileges that most of the rest of the world will never experience but we are miserable.\u00a0 We are depressed and angry and bitter and I think that is because we are ungrateful people.\u00a0 I think we are ungrateful because we are proud, self centered.\u00a0 We are focused on what we think we deserve rather than being humble hearted.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI read an illustration about the members of the Massai tribe in West Africa who understand this connection between humility and gratitude.\u00a0 When they want to say thank you they bow down and they literally put their forehead on the ground and then they say, \u201cMy head is in the dirt.\u201d\u00a0 That is their way of saying thank you.\u00a0 There is a humility that is demonstrated when we say thank you.\u00a0 I think as a way of life we need to have that heart attitude toward the Lord that says my head is in the dirt.\u00a0 Not because I am dirt but because I recognize that you are God and you are good and you are great and before you and in comparison to you I am as nothing.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think, too, that God is offended by our ingratitude because he is our father.\u00a0 In the same way we who are parents feel an offense when our children have an attitude of ingratitude for what we do for them.\u00a0 We would have nothing were in not for what God has done for us.\u00a0 Just as our children would have nothing if the parents who brought them into this world didn\u2019t care for them and love them and provide for them those children would have nothing.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe analogy is that same.\u00a0 We as people would have nothing if it weren\u2019t for what God has done for us.\u00a0 I think he is offended because he deserves our gratitude as his children and we are so reluctant to give it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Even if your kids are grateful to you but you watch them whine and complain with one another you\u2019re still offended by the fact that they can\u2019t get along with one another as your kids.\u00a0 I\u2019m thinking again we may express gratitude toward God but if we can\u2019t get along with one another God looks at that and goes \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong>\u00a0 You don\u2019t get it.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes.\u00a0 Grow up.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You say you love me with
