Do all things without complaining or disputing. Philippians 2:14
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Those two passages go hand in hand. It's easier to not complain if you are rejoicing, praying, and giving thanks to God.
Now that we have a lot of free time during the day and have had beautiful weather, we've had our kids outside picking dandelions (so they don't go to seed and spread), mowing, planting our garden, vegetables and flowers, and other chores that have been hibernating through the winter. They've been doing a lot of grumbling along with it. My husband and I constantly remind them to rejoice instead of complain. When you rejoice and are thankful, there's less room for complaining.
