Snow - and - A Part in the School

 

I had a part in the School on Thursday night, Part 4, a 2 minuter. The Script, with the brief as its heading, is here:

November 2025    4. Starting a Conversation

(2 min.) HOUSE TO HOUSE. Use a jw.org contact card to start a conversation. (lmd lesson 4 point 4)

4. Make clear that the Bible is the source of the truths you share. God’s Word contains thoughts that touch people’s hearts. When we use it, we are building their faith on the right foundation.

**************

Sue:  Good morning.  I am Sue Knight, one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I can see you are just about to go out, but do you have a moment?

HH:  I’m waiting for my taxi.  I thought you were it!  

Sue:  Oh, then of course I won’t keep you. Could I leave this card with you, in case you would like to know why it is we call.  My contact details are on the back, and it also directs you to our excellent website, JW.org.

HH:  Well, OK.  But look I don’t want to waste your time, I’m really not interested.  I know you witnesses feel that the world is soon going to end, and I agree we are making such a mess of it, but even so I am much more positive than that. I think the planet will survive.

Sue:  Oh - and so do we I assure you, because that is what the Bible tells us.  If you remember Jesus famously said that the meek would inherit “the earth” - and when he said that he was confirming the lovely promises in the Hebrew Scriptures, or Old Testament.  Just let me show you this one, if I may.  It’s at Psalm 37:29, and it says: The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.

The righteous will possess the earth and they will live forever on it.  That is our guarantee that the earth will not be destroyed, as wouldn’t it be a bit difficult to live on it forever if there was no earth left?

HH:  Well - fair enough I suppose.  But actually I thought the Bible was all about going to heaven when you die. Which doesn’t sound very likely to me either.

Sue: Yes, I thought that for many years. It was such a revelation to me when I found out what the Bible actually says - a wonderful revelation. And this is why we offer a free home Bible course to all who will accept one. We want everyone to know.  Oh, here is your taxi, and I don’t even know your name. 

HH:  It’s HH.

Sue: Then please do have a look at our website HH. Think about that Bible Course and you are so welcome to contact me if you would like to talk some more about this.

There was snow in the North this week, and a brief sleet/snow slurry here on Wednesday. But for sure it has got much colder.  So I thought I would search the Captain's photo gallery for a snow shot - one from Sheffield maybe - and I found this from Endcliffe Vale Park in winter.

The Hull branch of the family sent a photo through of the garden at Lilac Tree Farm covered in snow.  It looked so lovely.
