This made my day !

As Jehovah's Witnesses, we may readily accept that we are a tiny minority of the population, always swimming upstream, against the current. David vs. Goliath.

 

But take heart !   Our text for October 18 made this observation; "All of us today are descendants of those who served Jehovah".  Just think about that !

 

All the high-minded of academia, all the skeptics, all the non-believers, all of those in the grasp of false religion, all of them ALREADY OWE THEIR LIVES TO JEHOVAH - Not once, but twice!

 

They are DESCENDANTS of those who SERVED JEHOVAH.   So, literally everyone in our territories has a member of the family who served Jehovah faithfully. 

 

Those of us serving Jehovah have come 'round full-circle, haven't we?

Yes we have! That can really stretch your perception, of your own reality, can't it?  We're encouraged to meditate on where we will be busy in Paradise. My problem is making a visual of my place, and it weighs on my mind a lot. Trying to figure that little problem out, keeps me entertained for periods of time. 

I came from a large family, 6 boys, 5 girls. I distinctly recall the two acre garden that fed us all, and some of my memories are of that garden, plucking a carrot out of the ground, and washing it off to eat, and you won't ever get a veggie that tastes better.   ;-)

I have much the same memories, except for the washing part.
