Humbling Experience



My co-worker just told me about his daily hobby. It was the most humbling conversation we've had. He reads his Bible daily for 30 minutes. My eyes widen because I'm not good about reading daily. I have had times where I even miss the congregation reading. (Work in progress here.) He rises early in the morning and reads God's Word.

Rather than use the opportunity to witness, I had to think to myself. Was Jehovah God telling me something or what?! Look at your spiritual health. Am I where I need to be? To be a good teacher, one must acquire knowledge himself. You have to acquire knowledge first. Even baptized already, where did my knowledge of the scriptures stand?

Don't get outsmarted at the door friends?! "Make sure of the important things," (Philippians 1:9,10). We can give lip service about God's Kingdom making it sound sweet and attractive but does the proof and knowledge lie in our hearts? An avid reader can tell one who reads daily from one who quotes the scriptures? Do we keep our "internal Rolodex" up-to-date? This just got me thinking. Just like your physical but more important, make sure your spiritual health is in tip-top shape.

Selfish People End Up Having Only Their Self

Some people are so selfish they only have themselves. The people they love die off and they never notice because they are so selfish. The family grow old and that person misses their moments of sunshine and wisdom because they are selfish. Don't be one of them. It's the little moments that no one looks and misses, the maturity of a person's life. If they would only open their eyes and give undivided attention to the people in theirs. That's when you really start living, that when you truly see and care. That is love, true love for family and friends.

Do Not Be Mislead.

"Do not be mislead, bad association spoils useful habits. *or "corrupt good morals." - 1 Cor. 15:33 One of my husband's friends is getting disfellowshipped, though we are mutual friends via my husband, I still feel bad. I hope she gets a firm grip on the truth. I am also thankful for God's mercy towards me and he read my heart and discerned what was best for me. "No discipline at the time is joyous.." I remember the pain I caused the congregation, my family and friends. I behave selfishly and that is hard not to do in a world that is completely selfish as well. Her situation reminded me of myself and how I felt like I could do what my Aunt was doing. Her marriage after 40 years fell apart and she has been so unstable since then. Jehovah God is the only one who cares. Satan destroys everything and everyone. He will make your life seems like it's missing something and once you step out of Jehovah's boundaries the trap has sprung on you. He ap

A Little Life in the Hands of a Mother

A Little Life in the Hands of a Mother... I was an prestigious event yesterday night and the event was held to all those across the world. I was unable to sit hungry for 3 hours, so of course I pack some snacks in my bag along with my songbook and bible. I tucked my fork (couldn't find a disposable spoon) and unsweetened applesauce in my purse and strolled to the empty mother's room in the bathroom. Ah-hah! Sanctuary and could still hear what was being said. I ate my applesauce and cling to its not so appeasing texture. The door that was closed, was slowly being open. Has other realize my plans and came to do the same? To my surprise, (shouldn't be a surprise, if I was in a mother's room) a mother and her 8 weeks old son came inside the room with me. I watched her very intently as she shushed and cooed with her hungry son. I greet the sister and son as they became comfortable sitting together. As she check to see if he was sleepy by rocking and cooing him, she
