Always Rejoice! The Sunday Morning Session

Yesterday, after a shortened Watchtower study, we all went to the Sunday morning session of the Always Rejoice! Convention, on our various devices - in my case, I drove my laptop to the kitchen.  

This, below, was the Symposium - each item included a video of our brothers and sisters in various parts of the world sharing their experiences with us.  For example, we heard from a sister in Venezuela, who had children to care for. She told us how the shops are emptying of food - how hard it is to get even the most basic items.  And she told us how the Christian brotherhood was helping her to keep going and to keep feeding her children - and was also making sure that she ate too. 

And we heard the experience of one of our Russian brothers and his experiences in detention - our siblings there are going through so much now.   But it all helps us to see why Jehovah congregates his people, how the brotherhood can sustain us, and give us cause for rejoicing even in such difficult circumstances. 

You will find the Symposium on JW.org, if you want to listen in.   Even though we live in very difficult times, we can get through them, even finding causes for joy, if we draw close to our Creator, Jehovah, stay close to his congregated people, and always remember our wonderful hope - life in the restored earthly paradise.
