Murmuring

The other day I was reading Alma 58:35 and I read "Behold, we do not know but what ye are unsuccessful, and ye have drawn away the forces into that quarter of the land; if so, we do not desire to murmur." Over and over I have heard that you should not murmur, you should not murmur, you should not murmur, and so I have stived to not be negative and murmur at all. I was amazed that there was a righteous reason to complain. It is against the Lord that we should not murmur. There may be a righteous reason to tell someone to change, like my wife does to me every once and a while. And I am glad to hear that I need to clean more or be more organized. Although sometimes it is too much for me. I still know that, if anything, I need to murmur less and be more grateful, but there may be a time to lovingly complain. Not an easy task to lovingly complain, but an interesting inking for me.
