Well! Where can I begin? We have been blessed with some really great happenings so far in November, of which, Michael's baptism being the nicest! I am so happy for him!!! Another plus is that he has decided to Auxiliary Pioneer for November as well!! It seems that he has taken off spiritually!It is so refreshing to experience that zeal that we all had at the beginning, in someone newly baptised! It kinda rubs off on us:) I have been greatly encouraged by his spiritual direction.
One thing that stuck with me ... One of the speakers from Patterson gave an illustration where he spoke about a parent giving 10 dollars to a child for lunch money. The money was allotted ONLY for lunch, nothing else. The child spent it on junk food and candy. The parent was not happy! The application for us : Jehovah has allotted this time before the great tribulation for the preaching of the Good News... nothing else! Not "candy"( selfish mundane even normal worldly pursuits)! That illustration alone helps to put things in perspective.
It was sooo nice that Kenny,Becca, Ben and Bella were able to be there! I have all of my kids , Kenny, Christina, Patrick, Becca, Evan and Julie to thank for encouraging him!Jehovah truly deserves the credit for taking care of all of you guys.
