Cantankerous is a long word to mean ill mannered.
A connotation is what I offer for the word.
Now the denotation is grouchy; difficult to get along with.
Taking this into consideration don't ever wish to be this way.
A better way is to be loving and supportive of all people.
Never look beyond what the Lord can do for He is the only One Who can do anything well.
Keeping to yourself is the kindest thing to do for all concerned.
Ever mindful of doing the Lord right is our goal.
Reaching out to the Lord will find Him reaching for you.
Only you know the personal wealth you have from Jesus.
Use what you have to bless His name and to give Him the praise.
Simply put do your best to honor God with all you do.
