Greetings, It is so easy to form those ugly habits of complaining, criticizing, and finding fault. Without even realizing it, we can fall into that awful rut of speaking negative words. That is one reason I mention so often that our speech can affect our lives for good or for bad.  Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV) –
