Day 2
Stale
I was once quite surprised when I took a drink and gulped down watery, stale soda that had been sitting out since the night before. In the middle of a big renovation project, I was working very hard to get things done. Old cups sat on the counter along with my new, fresh cup I had just poured. After walking away to complete a task, I returned to take another drink of my refreshingly caffeinated diet coke, and was shocked to get old, stale, nasty, warm and watered down disgusting-ness in my cup instead as I inadvertently grabbed the wrong cup. It was a very unpleasant surprise. We often have a similar experience in the spiritual realm as old grumbling which can feel very satisfying to participate in turns to bitterness as it ages. This is one of the great dangers of murmuring and grumbling. It can push out the remaining joy in your life over time and leave you with nothing but unpleasantness. How do you stop this process?
