Miss Bea

I saw a cute pix of a cat face w/big eyes and the caption read "does your alarm clock purr?"....yes mine does about 3/4 a.m. and he wants to be petted at that time.  LOL  

Spot on there!

In fact our cat has quite a few alarms during he day

We own a cat but I think it is the other way round!  😻

They are downstairs now. Creating a ruckus. The wild life has been assaulted. We will have to get rid of a body or two. 😒

I will...

Being instrumental to someone's attending a meeting (despite past letdowns,) shows mature Christian love on your part. Knowing you, I'm not a bit surprised at that. Yup, prayers are going out for all in your group. Jehovah knows how much effort we exert to get our calls, Bible Students, and especially our family/extended family members to the congregation assemblies; prayer being perhaps the most visibly unnoticed.  Satan would like to keep her away from the convention. Congrats for helping overcome obstacles. Y (standing in the back of the room doing jumping-jacks)S

Back, still not 100%. (If ever!) But, it is better. I am forced to have wonderful posture, still bending...not good. But, I’m still moving around, doing what I do, just slower, and more careful. 

Not too bad, actually. I need to be more methodical anyway. Give thought to what I am doing.

I spend hours on my PC and like to slouch. Doing my back no favors. Then I'm out most days taking public transport and slouch some more. 

The back problem started decades ago when I got baptised in the sea while I was having a fever. Then with my wet clothes, waiting to be transported back to the hotel, I caught rheumatism. My life went downhill from then onwards. My bible study conductor and her older brother put a lot of pressure on me to get baptised. I blamed them for my back problems. Both of them are dead. The sister from cancer and her brother from heart problems. The Society only recently brought out the fact that we should not force people to get baptised. 40+ years too late.

Suffering all these while with an Aspies husband in tow, life has not been a bed of roses. Sigh. Sorry for venting. 

Come to think of it, Jehovah has given me many blessings. Like the many humble brothers and sisters in my non-English congregation. My heart overflows with joy. Must meditate on my blessings. Write it out in a book. What priceless gifts from on High. 

Thank goodness, your back is on the mend. Take it slow and easy. As we grow old, our body starts to creak and groan with all sorts of pain. Just be mindful of not overdoing things. Relax and learn the correct way to breathe. I just found that out recently. Woe is me!

Shawn beat me to it.

This group just warms my heart! 

I do this, then I say to myself, pretty soon it will be gone anyway...Actually, I have a talk, and I had to stop worrying about it. So, we shall see. 

It’s just stuff, I tell myself. Then I start thinking about who has given me what. Then I start fretting again. 

Today, the meeting, tomorrow, town, then...

At this point, all I can see myself doing is a, “we are going to move”, house cleaning. Ugh. I used to do that. Then I got old. And tired. 

At times like this, I wonder why I am trusted to drive off of the property! 

Where was it you lived again Bea ?  LOL I am just kidding. I am slowly giving things of any value away ...purging and

down sizing. I am not that ancient but feel less and less attached to things because when the GT comes it may all be left behind so might as well let go and feel a sense of freeness. I have things no one wants ....tried giving to Grand Kids ...nope they are not in the least bit interested. I let go of my moms treadle Singer sewing machine not one of the Granddaughters wanted it  so it went to a grandson. 

Um, I found my stash place. I’ve been deep cleaning, and I found my stash in the top center drawer, my dresser, upstairs. I just sort of kept deep cleaning, and figured, sooner, or later. 

I toddled downstairs, and put the found items in the safe. 

The more you have, the more you worry about. 

But, I started to think. A crystal necklace given to me by a dear, dear sister. She wore it in her younger days. A woven piece, that is unique, and beautiful. A green dentilliam necklace my husband gave me, a Klamath jade that I love. Me and rocks! It was made by a friend. Etc. 

Stuff. I know. It’s the sentimental pieces that mean the most. One, day, I suspect, it will be just memories. But, for now...

My Dearest Bea,

I was sad to read the loss of your sister its difficult to loose a family member.  Family's are like a tree although there are many branches going in different directions and perhaps not all producing the best results , none the less it's still family and it's blood. We are forever connected by the roots we share the same DNA and in effect they will always be part of us. Soon Jehovah will finish off death forever, resurrect our loved ones and those who need a fresh start will have the opportunity to know Jehovah's love and goodness. Hang in there Bea you are a trooper and we love you

Wendy xo

I'm so sorry Bea,  death is so unnatural... Jehovah sees your pain and hopefully it won't be too long before she's back with you.. sending you lots of love and hugs xx

I am very sorry for your loss. May Jehovah comfort you over this period of time. Xx

Did we sabotage Bea's status?? 

Bea, momma, We're sorry. Forgive us. Us girls are car people and got caught up in the moment. Smooch.

It's not the first thread I've "highjacked" and it probably won't be the last.  Sorry!

You sisters are just funny. 😍 

love you! 

Enjoy your visit my friend. 😙

It would be just perfect if I could stop and see you and Leslie on the way home. In time.🥰🥰🥰

Niagara Falls today!

I had the same experience too.. My bible study was really smart... But  later she has been questioning our organization. Then she told me that shes watching youtube videos that  against .. I told her to watch the videos and see for herself.. She didn't listen to me. She stopped studying and  continue to have an immoral life with her boyfriend. 

We can't control all things. 

Jennie, other then your bible study telling you what was going on, and, being open, this was exactly what happened.

A sad thing. Talk about being cruel. Satan. How can someone be happy about someone dying. Then I think about wars and abortions. Talk about a mass murderer! 

Satan  is real and relentless to our family using my father to pressure us not to follow bible principles and conform to worldly thinking. 

Hes so cruel that he attacks bible studies who has been rooted in the faith yet even the new ones in the congregation. 

How about our youth.. Thats why I pray everyday, I can't do this fight without Jehovah..

Oh pleaaaasee post pictures of your dogs especially your latest addition to your brood. In the sleepy hollow called the 'Pets' club. Under the topic 'Dogs'. 

Mr. Sid seems such a sweet person. My dog loved me more than MH. Mikki will make a u-turn when it turns out that he is helping me to take my Precious for a walk. 6 am walk, when we were working was MH's duty but the other 2 walks (7 pm and 12 pm) were my prerogatives. 

Due to his autistic nature, he couldn't emphasize with dogther's need to pick up scraps from the road and he would disciplined her quite severely. My little girl would not tolerate any hard spanking. RIP my small but bighearted M.

I have a mouther. She never chomps down, but when she's in the car when my husband picks me up from the train station, she likes to grab my hand or wrist with her mouth as a "hello". The only thing I hate is the slobber stains on my coats, yuck!

Blaze, the wolf dog is that way too. But, so gentle. In fact, they are all gentle and polite when we give them their treats. Daily. I have a friend with four dogs. They do not take treats gently, and, thus, get none, from me, anyway. 

Blaze is looking at the end of his life. Incredibly sad. We had one dog who choose his way to die. He could hardly get around. We never have found him. Tuffy. A wonderful mutt. 

You are most precious to me my dear Miss Bea.

This is exactly what I mean. I love you so, my dear sister. I know one day, we will get to know everyone. But this site hurried it up a bit. You are the ones I want to chase down when the dust has settled. Somehow. And, yes, our dear brother, Kim is on that list. 

The rest of you, upright. Pretty please.❤️❤️❤️

Mostly, I pick batik dress... @M'Awan

I like to go to Medan and Jakarta to buy my spun rayon blouses and housecoats. Loved the gula aren (palm sugar).

Wear what you want, but don't wear yourself out.

Sister Bea, please take care of yourself, i was worried when I read that you had a mini-stroke. So here are your new doctor's orders:

Take tumeric

Take baby aspirin

Take 2 days of Jazz and dancing! 🎵

I love both of you Miss Bea and Vernalee.

I understand your feeling of positive thoughts Miss Bea, I have health complications, mine is heart, and like you I choose to treat them responsibly but yet not over-think their issues. I feel better when I don't. But Jehovah knows how I long to see his name vindicated so I hope he lets me live to see the Big Day!

Signs of stroke

Face - is it drooping?

Arms - can you raise both?

Speech - is it slurred or jumbled?

Time - to call 911 right away

Please take care of yourself Miss Bea, hope everything checks out at the doctors office.

You are so thoughtful and loving Sister Bea! Do you mind if we just make about 120,000 clones of you because every congregation would love to have you. 

Um, this was not to be public. Either I made a mistake, or someone needs to clean out that inbox. But, I still smile.😫😊😊

Yes, I also enjoyed how I immersed myself into God's word by hard copy preparation... Yet, I also enjoy how quick I can get more biblical information by research through electronic devices... 

Hard to choose between two... 🤔

Don’t have to choose...combine..

I sort of do. That iPad is right ther, and is used to look up scriptures. I do not trust what I wrote down. 

Able to comment. Yippee. 

Slow internet connection maybe? 

That was happening to me after the Google Chrome update. I had to delete the app after I cleaned out all cookies. Then did a reinstall, refusing any updates.

Glad your precious pup is on the mend.

There have been recent reports of a toxic dog food killing dogs by fatally damaging their kidneys with a lethal dose of vitamin D.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hill's Pet Nutrition's recent recall is a reminder that safety remains one of the driving forces in the U.S. pet market today. A 2018 survey by market research firm Packaged Facts reveals that 57% of dog owners and 55% of cat owners agree that "fear of pet food contamination/product safety is a key consideration in the dog foods/cat foods I buy," while more than 60% of dog and cat owners agree that they are concerned about the safety of the pet food, treats, and chews they buy. The findings were published in the January 2019 report, Pet Food in the U.S., 14th 

We had no idea what happened, but her blood tests showed her vital organs were in good shape. Just dehydration. We just got her meds down her, and I took her for a walk, (in the snow!) she peed. Which I was so glad. She still won’t eat, but is drinking plenty of water. She still is in her sick room. (Aka, the washroom) 

Update. Yes, I am very thankful no parts to my body were broken. So much so, that I am grateful for the soreness I am experiencing. That, vs. broken anything. Can you imagine my hip being broken? (Shudder) 

One of the elders phoned and checked on me. 

Now, this I don’t know how to take. He said they were talking of having a safety meeting with our group that meets Wednesday(generally 10-12 of us) He said do you have any idea the average age of that group? Most of us in our 70’s, or realizing they are about to join us. In our 70’s. 

Soooo..

All kidding aside, I am so, so thankful to Jehovah that my neck or back was not broken. So thankful. Unspeakably thankful. 

Safety meeting...purse...clear...feet....firm...solid grip...roger that...holy spirit...flowing Sir. Ready to engage target

Oh poor Miss Bea!  You are made of tough stuff!  So glad you only have bruising and nothing more serious. 

Sister i feel the same way!  My heart is in the kingdom.  I am so done already with this world.  I long for Jehovahs kingdom so much it makes it hard to concentrate on anything else.  I think thats why I love this forum so much is because we are all so like minded.

This is indeed strange because we were talking about this in service Wednesday. My thoughts are already in paradise, waiting for the resurrection to begin, sleeping well, eating good food, no pain, no fear, the animals not being afraid (wonder how long that'll take, I want to hold so many of them) Your comment about having visitors and wanting them to go home is spot on for my way of thinking as well.

Restless feels like a good word.  Anticipating something so strong that I can’t get ready fast enough for it. Can not focus on other things and feeling constantly side tracked to the point of distraction from what needs to be done. 

When i I lived in CA and knew my children or family were driving for a visit, I would start to clean the house because  I wanted everything perfect for their arrival, but also so I could spend all my time with them once they arrived.  I could not stay focused on specific tasks even though I knew they had just left Oklahoma.  I would constantly peek out the curtains to see if ‘that’s them’ if I heard a sound. 

Once they came, I throughly enjoyed their visit and hated to see them go but at the same time I wish they would just so things could ‘get back to normal’.

Not only do I anticipate the start of the GT and Armageddon so I can have all my questions answered re how it will go down, I can’t wait to start the restoration and find our assignments, I want the 1000 year reign to have past so we can get down To the REAL LIFE,

Is it in the recently deleted file?

I did a screen shot, in case it went bye- bye. I saw the potential. Thanks for your kind attention..💖

😘😘🙏

It will be so wonderful. Jehovah’s earth has beauty today. It’s hard to imagine it perfect.  And we get to be the gardeners! Forever. It’s sort of hard to picture. A perfect earth, and, thanks to Jehovah, more perfection. Everywhere you look. Safety. 

And dear friends💖💖💖

He has such a sweet face, and the leg is of no consequence♥️

Because of your pic I went to a web site for 10 of the biggest cats, my goodness, almost makes me want one! I just don't want a litter box.

https://www.petfinder.com/cat-breeds/collections/largest-domestic-cats/?page=1

No. He’s one of a litter that was abandoned. Mom,, and three siblings. 

We aleady had three cats, but knew because of his leg, they would put him down. One of his rear legs goes up, and,  backwards at the joint. It’s not fixable. He’s the sweetest cat we have ever had. We are still kicking ourselves for not keeping another out of that litter. 

And, one of the prettiest!

Try five. Litter boxes. Three cats. And,, they are cleaned twice a day. By my husband. 

We rescued a pup. (Now I need rescued) Golden Lab. And our other three dogs have about had it with him. Me, too. I think one of our German Shepherds might have a doggy nervous breakdown. And I’d not blame her. While I’m in the house, I finally tied pup up. I’m going outside, so...it’s really quiet right now, and I’m wondering what our Bronco is up to. Hard telling.

Named him Bronco because there is a LOT of stuff we have to break him from. 

Old people should not get pups! 

I like to think Jehovah will take care of all. If it hurts us especially.  Have you seen the Boston Terrier in a WC on Murphy Brown?  Google it.  I saw this one and only episode and wish I had been able to see more. 

My Sadie Grace is a three legged Great Pyrenees. She gets around well short distances.  I keep a ottoman at the foot of our bed for her to use to take her spot.  Sometimes she gets hung up and cry’s for our help.  It still hurts to see her struggle at times.  I don’t see Jehovah allowing that.  But I’m not privy to all he knows. 

Everything including the kitchen sink can hit the fan, but when we have Jehovah , it's all ok because we know one day all the pieces will come back together and he will make it all ok.

That's why I really love our new Year Text.
