* The influencer is a kitty rescuer and has thousands of followers who will pay for the treatment.

Well, my mum and sister were in emotional turmoil today because their cat was being taken to the vet to be put down. He was exhibiting heart failure and had been going to the vet multiple times, but the costs were mounting and further treatment was not affordable. It looked like he was near death. Very sad 😢 However, before the procedure, the vet introduced mum and Keks to an influencer who happened to be at the vet at the same time, and she offered to pay for all the treatment, no expense spared. The vet said the X-rays and blood test shows he’s not terminal yet, so with a lot of money, he can be helped to live a bit longer. Wow! An unheard of development 🤗💕❤️💐

I love reading the way you put things, David! The Great Mathematician astounds us. How wonderful that he has made everything for us to learn and explore, under his direction. It will be just so amazing to be there and learn about it all. "That kind of course correction takes more than math". And Jehovah is already teaching us how to live united and start the process of that course correction, thanks to the ransom. Very humbling and exciting!

As kids I remember looking up a lot more - at the clouds by day and at the stars by night. The sky is fascinating as a child, and now even more so as we learn so much about the universe thanks to modern telescopes. We see Jehovah’s magnificent beauty in creation. And know barely the “fringes of his ways”. We have eternity to keep learning, and to be so grateful. And who knows, time travel adventures may even be a possibility? 😁 Thanks again David for your post. What a contrast between humans wanting their glory, “a contest of pride”, and Jehovah sharing his creation with us! We ‘lift up our eyes’ and know who has created these things, and we rightfully give him glory.

Another great post, David 👍 And from our WT study this week, par 14: *** w25 April pp. 10-12 par. 14 “Drawing Near to God Is Good” for Us! *** He also wants us to show high regard for the gift of life. We draw closer to the Giver of life by maintaining balanced habits in eating and drinking and by caring for our health in other reasonable ways. Every effort we make to please Jehovah, even in seemingly small things, will endear us to him.—Luke 16:10. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=2025361&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=23 A good reminder for me not to indulge my sugar cravings 🍩

Wow, it really does look like Elvis!?! 🤣🤣be/Yn0zOF7DlWQ

What about emotional pain, like the feeling of guilt? Like physical pain, it can warn us. We then listen to our trained conscience and avoid the wrong. *** g02 3/8 p. 27 Feelings of Guilt—Are They Always Bad? *** Feeling guilt can be good in at least three ways. First, it signals that we are aware of acceptable standards. It shows that we have a working conscience. (Romans 2:15) In fact, a book published by the American Psychiatric Association treats the absence of guilt feelings as societally threatening behavior. Those with defiled or deadened consciences have trouble seeing the difference between right and wrong, and that can be dangerous.—Titus 1:15, 16. Second, a guilty conscience can help us avoid undesirable actions. Just as physical pain alerts us to a potential health problem, the emotional pain associated with guilt alerts us to a moral or spiritual problem that needs our attention. Once we are aware of the weakness, we are more inclined to avoid hurting ourselves, our loved ones, or others again in the future.—Matthew 7:12. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=102002169&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=10 As perfect beings Satan, Adam and Eve did not listen to their conscience to stop themselves going down a dark path. They must have ignored the pain from their conscience stabbing them. So, I imagine guilt will also be a part of living acceptably in the new world. But not the awful guilt we feel now, such as when we might allow legitimate remorse over a mistake or wrong to intensify into feelings of shame and end up punishing ourselves unnecessarily. That negative feeling “will not be called to mind, nor will they come up into the heart“ - Is 65:17.

Brother Yura and all our family in Ukraine, we love you so very much!! Your example of endurance under the most difficult circumstances shows us Jehovah is with you 💗He will never let you down.

I’ve been 4 times now. The latest was in May 2024. I used Tokyo as a base and did day trips. And then I traveled up the spine of Japan using regional trains to really take in the scenery. Magnificent! I went to Fukushima and stayed at the samurai city of Aizuwakamatsu. Some pics follow: @Dages yes we are all jealous of you!🤣

The vastness overwhelms me (in a good way), reminding me of Jehovah’s great power and mathematical and scientific brilliance. He is truly awe inspiring. It’s so good to be reminded Jehovah is not an impressive impersonal super being, but knowing him the way we do when we study his word, he is love and all that that entails. And, it’s especially good to be reminded he loves each of us personally. Your post is spot on, thanks 🙏

That is so beautiful, brother 🌹

Excellent post David! Thanks 👍

What anime does you like? Cause you can visit the actual locations. YouTube can help find them. I like Clannad (a rather old anime now) but I was thrilled to visit the actual locations in Tokyo. Same as “Your Name”, which is set in Shinjuku and Ropppongi. https://en.japantravel.com/tokyo/your-name-real-life-locations/45058
