Blanchie DeGrate reacted to Queen Esther in Daily text, Monday 26. Sept. 2016
I know that after my going away oppressive wolves will enter in among you and will not treat the flock with tenderness.—Acts 20:29.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/26
Toward the end of his third missionary journey, Paul warned members of God’s name people by saying the above. He added: “From among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves.” (Acts 20:30) This foretold apostasy had clearly manifested itself by the end of the first century. (1 John 2:18, 19) After the death of the apostles, that apostasy blossomed and produced the churches of Christendom. Apostate Christians have even removed the divine name from many of their translations of the Bible. They have adopted pagan rituals and have dishonored God by their unscriptural dogmas, their “holy wars,” and their immoral conduct. Thus, for centuries, Jehovah had just a sprinkling of faithful worshippers on the earth but no organized “people for his name.”—Acts 15:14. w14 11/15 5:8, 9

It is enough! Now, O Jehovah, take my life away, for I am no better than my forefathers.—1 Ki. 19:4.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/20
How did Jehovah feel when he looked down from heaven and saw his faithful prophet Elijah in despair? Did he reject his servant because he temporarily became depressed and lacked courage? Not at all! Jehovah took into account Elijah’s limitations and dispatched an angel. Twice the angel encouraged Elijah to eat. Thus, his upcoming journey would not “be too much for [him].” (1 Ki. 19:5-8) Yes, even before giving any directions, Jehovah listened to his prophet and took practical measures to sustain him. How can we imitate our caring God? We should not be quick to offer advice. (Prov. 18:13) It would be better first to take the time to express our empathy to those who may think that they are “less honorable” because of their personal circumstances. (1 Cor. 12:23) Then we would be in a position to act appropriately, according to the true need. w14 6/15 3:14-16

SUPERMAN'S SECRET IDENTITY.... ( A CO. in service with a 7 yr. old boy ;o)
A wonderful true report !
A circuit oveerseer went out in service with a 7 year old boy, they went house-to-house. The brother asked the boy: "Are you ready with your message?" The boy answered: "Of course. I am always ready."
The boy went to the first door, knocked, and the person answered. It was a man. The boy asked, "Sir, do you know Superman's Secret Identity...what his name is?" The man answered: "Of course. it's Clark Kent."
The CO did not know where to look, he was about to stop the 7 year old, when the boy asked: "Well, do you know God's name?"
"Of course," answered the man "Jesus."
"Tsk Tsk Tsk" the boy said as he shooked his head!!!
"Mister, do you mean to tell me you know a fictional persons name and even his Secret Identity and you don't know Gods name, who is real?"
"But I do" answered the man "I said Jesus."
"Tsk Tsk Tsk" said the boy "Good thing I came to teach you today."
The boy proceeded to turn to scripture after scripture proving Jehovah's name to the man. The man said: "Come in show me more."
When they finished, the CO said nothing.
They went to the next door. It was the CO's turn. He asked the homeowner: "Hi, do you know the name of Superman's Secret Identity?" LOL... hahaha
Yes, we still can learn from our loving kiddies ;o)

The borrower is a slave to the lender.—Prov. 22:7.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/19
Jehovah knows that we need some money. But money cannot protect and sustain us the way godly wisdom can. (Eccl. 7:12; Luke 12:15) In many cases, individuals underestimate the cost of going overseas to work, and there are no guarantees that they will make money abroad. In fact, there are grave dangers. Many emigrants return with even greater debt. Rather than being freer to serve God, they end up serving those to whom they owe money. The wise course is to avoid going into debt in the first place. Seek Jehovah’s direction before you make decisions and commitments, not after making them. Pray for his holy spirit, wisdom, and guidance. (2 Tim. 1:7) Ask the elders for Scriptural advice, and show your faith and trust in Jehovah’s promise to help you by following his counsel.—2 Cor. 1:24. w14 4/15 4:10, 17

The Kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits.—Matt. 21:43.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/18
In the first century C.E., Jehovah cast off the unfaithful nation of Israel. However, that did not mean that he would be without an organization of loyal servants on earth. Jehovah transferred his blessing to a dynamic new organization centered on Jesus Christ and his teachings. It had its start on the day of Pentecost 33 C.E. At that time, about 120 disciples of Jesus were gathered at a place in Jerusalem when “suddenly there was a noise from heaven, . . . and it filled the whole house.” Then “tongues as if of fire became visible to them and were distributed, and one came to rest on each one of them, and they all became filled with holy spirit and started to speak in different languages.” (Acts 2:1-4) This amazing event furnished undeniable evidence that Jehovah was backing the new organization, the one consisting of Christ’s disciples. w14 5/15 3:10, 11

Go on bringing [your children] up in the discipline and admonition of Jehovah.—Eph. 6:4.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/17
Is that an easy assignment? No! Children are faced with an onslaught of satanic propaganda as well as with their own imperfect inclinations. (2 Tim. 2:22; 1 John 2:16) Some parents have noted that communication is more challenging when their children become teenagers—they may tend to withdraw and feel awkward about revealing their thoughts and feelings. If that is true of your children, what can you do? Rather than force your son or daughter into long, serious discussions, try to take advantage of casual opportunities. (Deut. 6:6, 7) You may need to put forth extra effort to do things together. You might go for a walk or a drive with them, play a game, or work together on some chore around the house. Such informal settings may help adolescents feel at ease and more inclined to open up. w14 9/15 3:2, 4

Offer to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips that make public declaration to his name.—Heb. 13:15.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/16
Our lips should make public declaration to Jehovah’s holy name. Deaf brothers and sisters use sign language to render such praise to God. Housebound Christians praise him by letter writing, telephone witnessing, and preaching to attendants and visitors. Our sacrifice of praise—our giving praise to Jehovah by making known his name and proclaiming the good news—should be commensurate with our health and ability. It ought to be our best. (Rom. 12:1; 2 Tim. 2:15) Our sacrifices of praise are personal offerings voluntarily made to God because we love him. (Matt. 22:37, 38) You surely want your sacrifices of praise to be acceptable to Jehovah. Do you find that you are allowing television programs, video games, sports activities, or hobbies to distract you and interfere with your spiritual progress? w14 11/15 3:12-14

Tell them to work at good, . . . safely treasuring up for themselves a fine foundation for the future, so that they may get a firm hold on the real life.—1 Tim. 6:18, 19.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/9/15
Despite our weaknesses and imperfections, Jehovah is pleased to use us as his fellow workers. How we cherish our privilege of working with our God in these last days! Thus, we should be willing to postpone the pursuit of many of our personal interests, knowing that in his new world, Jehovah will allow us to enjoy “the real life”—everlasting life in happy, peaceful conditions. Think of what Moses told the Israelites shortly before they entered the Promised Land: “Jehovah your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of your hands.” (Deut. 30:9) Once Armageddon is past, those who have been busy working with God will take possession of the land that he has promised them. Then, we will direct our attention to a new work assignment—making the earth a beautiful paradise ! w14 10/15 3:18, 19
