Summary of the grumble family
Answers
We should never allow the pessimism of others to keep us from reaching the
heights of victory that God wishes for us to stand upon. Many times we
come into contact with people who have nothing good or positive to say. All
of their comments are negative and critical and their focus is only on the
bad. If they see the sun shining, they will complain that it is too hot.
If they see the snow falling, they will complain that it is too cold.
Their first instinct is to find something to complain and murmur about, but
that is the opposite of how God wishes for us to act. (Proverbs 4:14-27)
We who know the goodness of God are to praise Him in all things and be
quick to speak words of life, blessing and prosperity. The Bible declares
in Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,
but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace
unto the hearers." Always try your best to be an optimist who sees the
good and not the bad. Communicate words that bring honor and glory to God
and do not fall for the lies of the enemy who encourages you to murmur and
complain and only see the bad that comes your way. (Psalm 139:14-18)
I hope this message ministers to your heart to never be a complainer, but
rather be one who praises God in all things and trusts that all things will
work together for your God because of your faith in Him.
Answer:
The Grumble Family
The poem ‘The Grumble Family’ is written by Lucy Maud Montgomery is about a family who lived in the Street of Complaining. Nobody liked to meet or talk to the Grumble Family as they were always complaining. They found fault in everything and were never satisfied with anything. They complain at everything whether they are in a good situation or an unfavourable situation. They scold at every circumstances, be it about the sun rising or about the rain. They are so pessimistic and find only negative things to say about the weather or about summer or winter. It was a well known fact that their grumbling never end. And when everything pleased them, they would grumble that there is nothing to complain about.
Everything goes wrong with the people living in Complaining Street. Whoever goes and stays with the Grumble Family for a few days become like them. Other people mistake that the people also belong to the grumble family. It is better to stay away from the Grumble Family.
Moral of the poem:
This rather humorous poem talks about not being pessimistic in any situation. Nothing is perfect in this world. People have both positive and negative qualities. One should be optimistic and accept things as they come. Life would be much more beautiful if we don't have the attitude of fault finding. It is easier to complain but it is better to understand and react wisely.
