Sad, but that's the way of it. We can pray. ❤️

The same thing happened to my sister. I'm so glad to see the solution. Thanks!❤️

Please stay in and be safe. You will be in my prayers.

Yes, Brother Julius it is a devastating blow to lose one's job in times like this. 
 
2 Cor 4 : 8 8 - 10  We are hard-pressed in every way,n but not cramped beyond movement; we are perplexed, but not absolutely with no way out;  9  we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed. 10  Always we endure in our body the death-dealing treatment that Jesus suffered, that the life of Jesus may also be made manifest in our body.
 
 

Jehovah knows what you need, and will provide.  I was in a similar situation and felt I couldn't go on another minute and that's when Jehovah steps in - at the last minute, when you just give him your load and say - can't do it anymore.  The turnaround is real and I have experienced this so many times - Jehovah will always be there for you.
 

We will miss you Vernalee, like Deborah said, "Come back soon!" 

Take care of yourself - we all need a break sometime.  Come back soon.  Agape, Deborah.

Thanx with tears

I just recently had a similar discussion with a sister who's husband is not in the truth. 
 
1 Cor 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise, your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
 
Jehovah our  God is a very considerate God. Your wife is not opposed to the truth. How good is that?  Remember the words in one of our kingdom songs -If they did it to you, they did it to me.
 
Yes, like the example above about Rehab, the rest of her family were not believers but they were saved too. They listened, obeyed and were blessed.
 
When Lot was told to leave, the Angel told him  at Gen 19:12 Then the men said to Lot: “Do you have anyone else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and all your people in the city, bring out of this place"  How good was that? 
 
Sometimes to be saved all that is needed is to Listen Obey and be blessed. 
 
Hang in there and trust in Jehovah with all your heart.

Oh Bea, I have a mustache but no sideburns. What a pair we make. I shave my mustache.

That's such a wonderful time in a parents live when we can see our children making a decision on serving Jehovah. I'm happy for you and her.

She has developed that zeal for the ministry, yes? No doubt that desire is a testament to her God-fearing parents' faith and love for Jehovah! 
 

What a wonderful thing. I’m happy for you, and your whole family!

Excellent goal! Thanks for the idea.

I have reached the point that I know what I want to say but my mouth doesn't cooperate with my mind. It is very disconcerting. Long posts are beyond my ability now. I hear you Charlotte.

I'm so sorry Sis. Can you think of a better way of life, like being in the new world? 
Where you are not sick anymore, you are able to do just what you want to do? 
 
When you can't get it together, know that Jehovah's knows exactly what you're saying. He has a  yearning to make you healthy, not just you but, all of us! 
When you have those moments pray, pray, and pray some more. We'll be praying with you dear.
(1 Thessalonians 5: 17)

@Life4u I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with that. I just wanted to provide some context for why it happens to some. A big part of why I try to force myself to write is because it helps me to organize my thoughts into a way that is easier for me to understand and remember. Thoughts are ever-changing and fleeting. Jehovah had his word written down for a reason. I hardly speak verbally because I am so slow to remember vocabulary or lose my thoughts in the middle of a sentence, to the point that it doesn't feel worth trying to have a conversation. Sometimes it happens in the middle of giving a comment, and I just have to sit there in silence while trying to remember what I was planning to say and the words to express it. If I can't remember it, I just have to say that I lost my thought or I get too anxious and say the completely wrong thing. In fact, it's probably better that way. (Ecclesiastes 5:2) Do not be quick with your mouth, nor let your heart speak rashly before the true God, for the true God is in the heavens but you are on the earth. That is why your words should be few. (Proverbs 10:19) When words are many, transgression cannot be avoided, But whoever controls his lips acts discreetly.

Thank you Neil.
