On Saturday morning, at the Zoom field service group, we discussed the Convention session that we watched last Sunday. It really helps to go over it again - just 45 minutes - but such a good reminder. On Sunday we watched the afternoon session of the Always Rejoice! Convention, and saw the second part of the drama: Nehemiah: "The Joy of Jehovah is your Stronghold."
The following and final talk Find Exquisite Delight in Jehovah was in harmony with the lessons of Nehemiah. When we listen to Jehovah and do our best to obey him, we find real and lasting happiness. And we will succeed.
A key Scripture was Psalm 37:4 which says: "Find exquisite delight in Jehovah, And he will grant you the desires of your heart."
I have also been watching the first part of "Alison's Last Mountain" on Youtube. Very moving. What lovely children she had - and left - when tragically she died on K2. Her last thought would have been of them. She made it to the top - but died on the way down when a storm blew her and her fellow climbers off the mountain. One of the few who have both made it up there and survived the descent has told us that the world looks exquisite from the top of K2.
And, yes, I can image it is one of those places where you can see the beauty and the glory of the world in all its freshness and wonder - as if new-painted. Though I am not likely to be there - not until they put in the Stannarh stairlift, teashop, and a proper loo.
However, if we obey our Creator now, one day we will see the earth as it should be - a paradise of peace and beauty, with everything restored to the loving harmony that there was in Eden. I hope that Jehovah will wake Alison and her fellow climbers from the dreamless sleep of death then - and also her young son who recently died on a mountain in the Himalayas.
The Thousand Years will be full of exquisitely happy reunions. I hope so much - IF I am there - that I will see my parents then.
