To-con-vey one's mood
In sev-en-teen syll-able-s
Is ve-ry dif-fic
Yesterday I joined a small Zoom group successfully after the Field Service and we discussed different ways we could write our letters - especially bearing in mind that nowadays so many people believe we evolved. It was helpful and encouraging and I hope to get a new letter drafted today. And we, the Captain and his missus, had a 30 minute hobble along the vast sea-emptied beach to the river. And back. The receding tide leaves a wonderful pattern of pebbles on the sand. Lots of inspiration for painters and poets.
We also had an outing on Tuesday to the woods. It was a dank Novembery day, but not nearly as cold as it should be this time of year. All beautiful though, and the log piles were splendid. There were some vast old trees - and I was thinking, being into the late November of my life, how transient we must seem to those trees - coming and going in our seasons like their leaves.
Our lives on this lovely earth are so short now. Which does bring me to the next installment of the Watchtower article on the wonderful and sure promise of the resurrection. And please notice that the time of the resurrection, during the Thousand Years, will be such a joyful one, a time of increasing happiness; and also note the question at the end of the para. And would you think about it?
12. In what way will all those on earth be blessed by Jehovah?
12 Under Kingdom rule, all of God’s people will experience the truthfulness of what Proverbs 10:22 says: “It is the blessing of Jehovah that makes one rich, and He adds no pain with it.” With Jehovah’s spirit at work on them, God’s people will become spiritually rich, that is, they will become more and more like Christ and will grow toward perfection. (John 13:15-17; Eph. 4:23, 24) Each day they will become stronger, better people. What a joy life will be then! (Job 33:25) How, though, can meditating on the resurrection help you now?
