Blessing or Complaining

I have always been amazed at our ability to find the worst in everything and everyone. It seems to be inbred in the way we live. We even complain about the way people complain. I'm curious what it would take to shift over to living out the blessings of God and to bless people that are part of our lives? Can blessing be inbred in us? In our weekly readings (for those not at MBIC, we are reading a chronological Bible together this year) we see the people of Israel being blessed by God and then living life of complaint. They complain about the food, the quality of leadership Moses is providing, they even complain that the Promised land is everything God claimed it would be. Their solution is to 1) Kill anyone that doesn't agree with them; 2) Overthrown the current leadership and find them a leader who will do exactly what they tell him/her to do; and 3) Go back to Egypt because life was so good when Pharaoh enslaved them, raping their daughters and oppressing their sons. Complaining impacts us more than we realize. It affects our vision, our minds - things that we choose to believe or not believe and our emotions. Complaining makes us not very nice to be around (except for other people who want to complain about the same people and situations) Paul claims that we are "blessed with every spiritual blessing . . . " What do you think our culture needs more of - a people of complaint or a people of blessing?
