A sister sent this long poem to all the sisters in the congregation, its worthy of a read. Love to you all. 🥰

 

Poem for Sisters
I was sitting, on a summer day, beneath a shady tree, 
descending into a slumber, when a vision came to me. 

There was beating of a thousand drums - the ground was shaking too. 
Then over the horizon came a woman into view. 

And then another woman, with a hundred at her heel. 
They multiplied a thousandfold - the vision was surreal! 

Salvation was their helmet, and solid faith their shield, 
With righteousness as breastplates, their hearts were well concealed. 

A mighty sword they all possessed, held tightly in their palms. 
Was this the female army indicated in the Psalms? 

Their eyes were facing forward as they marched in perfect time. 
Then I recognized their faces! These were sisters - friends of mine! 

See there that single sister? Satan put her to the test! 
How she longed to have a husband; to be loved like all the rest! 

And there, that older sister, though her spouse does not believe, 
You'll find her out in service, every morning, noon, and eve.

Another lost her husband, yet she marches through her trial. 
Says she, "He's on vacation - merely resting for awhile." 

And that one lost her husband when he simply went AWOL. 
He dropped his sword mid-battle, yet she's marching straight and tall. 

Oh yes, and there's my sister with her young ones - quite a sight. 
Her husband is in prison - he refused to go and fight. 

This sister here seems quite content - her life seems quite ideal, 
But what goes on behind closed doors she never will reveal.

In spite of all these hardships, the women march on strong.
The old, the young, the strong, the weak: they bravely trudge along. 

And then, like lightening, one of them stepped right up to my face. 
"How dare you rest!" she said to me. "There's no time left to waste!" 

"Here, take this sword and take this shield, this breastplate you must wear." 
"Don't rest until the Kingdom News is broadcast everywhere!" 

And so I found my place in line, with no time to debate. 
For now I see the urgency - my sleep will have to wait. 

No time for insecurities, no time for shrinking back. 
Just time to get this preaching done, false doctrines to attack! 

So next time you sit down to rest, or get the urge to snooze, 
Or if you start to tire out while preaching the good news, 

Observe this military force, just see what they can do, 
And pray for strength from God on high, then you can do it too. 

"The women proclaiming the good news are a large army."—Psalm 68:11.

Not at all. It’s great isn’t it. I don’t know who wrote it but it’s very clever.

A beautiful illustration:

 

The only bird that dares to attack an eagle in flight is the crow.  He sits on the back of the eagle and attacks it by pecking its neck.  How does the eagle react?  He's not fighting back.  No, he doesn't waste time nor energy on his attacker.  He simply opens his wings and quickly rises to a higher altitude.  The higher the eagle rises, the greater the crow's breathlessness becomes.  Due to lack of oxygen, the crow stops its attack by jumping off the eagle's back.

 

What is the lesson for us?  If the problems of this world (pressures, stress, burdens, insecurities and fear) are "pecking at our neck," don't waste energy on these "crows".  Take yourself to a higher spiritual level.  Seek Jehovah and draw closer to him.

 

Because you no longer give a problem "oxygen", it eventually gives up the attack on its' own.  Then you can continue flying undisturbed.

 

Jehovah's holy spirit is also like the "wind beneath our wings."  So make use of it and do not rely solely on your own strength.  - Isaiah 40:31 ❤️
