A Beautiful Story,...Of ? Trees? Jehovah Does Answer Prayers,... Once there were 3 trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said,... " Someday I hope to be a treasure chest, I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems, I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty." Then the second tree said,... " Someday I will be a mighty ship, I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world, everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull " Finally the third tree said,... " I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest, people will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching, I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me " After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said,... " This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter." And he began cutting it down,... The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest. At the second tree a woodsman said,... " This looks like a strong tree, I should be able to sell it to the shipyard " The second tree was happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship. When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true,... One of the woodsman said,... " I don't need anything special from my tree, so I'll take this one and store it " And he cut it down, when the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals,... He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay,... This was not at all what he had prayed for,... The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat,... His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end,... The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark,... The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams,... Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn,... She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree,... The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do,... The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time,... Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree,... One of them was tired and went to sleep,... While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe,... The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and rebuked the storm and the storm stopped,... At this time, the tree knew that it had carried Jesus in its boat,... Finally, someone came and got the third tree,... It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it,... When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill,... The tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to Jehovah God as was possible, because his Son Jesus had been impaled upon it,... The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be going our way, always know that Jehovah God has a purpose for us,... If we place our trust in Him, He will give us all the desires of our hearts,... Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined,... We may not always know what Jehovah has in mind for us,... We just know that Jehovah God ways are always best,... Contributed —

Hope in Jehovah, and Be Courageous - Show that YOU are a Bright Light! - Can YOU See the HOPE? ~ ????? “Hope in Jehovah; be courageous and let your heart be strong. Yes, hope in Jehovah.” (PSALM 27:14) GENUINE hope is like a bright light. It helps us to see beyond present trials and to face the future with courage and joy. Only Jehovah can give us a sure hope, which he does by means of his inspired Word. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) . . .All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work." In fact, the words “hope,” “hoped,” and “hoping” appear over 160 times in the Bible and refer both to the eager and sure expectation of something good and to the object of that expectation. Such hope is superior to a mere wish, which may have no foundation or prospect of fulfillment. When faced with trials and hardships, Jesus looked beyond the present and hoped in Jehovah. “For the joy that was set before him he endured a torture stake, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2) Because he was keenly focused on the prospect of vindicating JehovahÂ’s sovereignty and sanctifying His name, Jesus never deviated from his course of obedience to God, no matter what it cost him. (Romans 15:4) "For all the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope." (Romans 4:23) That “it was counted to him” was written, however, not for his sake only." (1 Corinthians 10:11) Now these things went on befalling them as examples, and they were written for a warning to us upon whom the ends of the systems of things have arrived." (2 Timothy 3:16) All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness." (2 Peter 1:19) Consequently we have the prophetic word [made] more sure; and YOU are doing well in paying attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day dawns and a daystar rises, in YOUR hearts." (Romans 5:4) . . .endurance, in turn, an approved condition; the approved condition, in turn, hope." (Psalm 119:50) . . .This is my comfort in my affliction, For your own saying has preserved me alive." (1 Corinthians 9:10) Or is it altogether for our sakes he says it? Really for our sakes it was written, because the man who plows ought to plow in hope and the man who threshes ought to do so in hope of being a partaker." (Hebrews 3:6) but Christ [was faithful] as a Son over the house of that One. We are the house of that One, if we make fast our hold on our freeness of speech and our boasting over the hope firm to the end." (1 Peter 1:10) Concerning this very salvation a diligent inquiry and a careful search were made by the prophets who prophesied about the undeserved kindness meant for YOU." I Know YOU Do Have HOPE! ~ ?????

You Cold? - What Do These Penguins ? Do In -30 Below and more? - When it gets very cold, emperor penguins huddle together in large groups to keep each other warm. ItÂ’s the only way they can survive the brutal conditions they face in the course of their incredible reproduction cycle on the sea ice off Antarctica. During mid-winter blizzards, when males are incubating eggs on their feet with only their brood flaps to cover the future chicks, temperatures can drop to -70 degrees. When I made this image it was not quite that bad, only -30 degrees, but I was standing on top of a platform perched at the edge of a colony and I had to stay still to avoid spooking the birds. It was an ordeal, and it took a while to get warm again, but the images were worth it. At @FransLanting for more stories from the amazing world of emperor penguins. Â

"We do not give up."—2 Cor. 4:16. ~ ??? Jehovah assures us of his love and helps us to endure in our service to him. (Jer. 31:3) Serve God Loyally Despite “Many Tribulations” “We must enter into the Kingdom of God through many tribulations.”—ACTS 14:22. Be determined not to give up the fight. Keep focused on the reward. Paul wrote to Christians in Corinth: “We do not give up, but even if the man we are outside is wasting away, certainly the man we are inside is being renewed from day to day. For though the tribulation is momentary and light, it works out for us a glory that is of more and more surpassing greatness and is everlasting.”—2 Corinthians 4:16, 17. SOME EXPRESSIONS EXPLAINED Tribulations: Trials that a Christian suffers. They can include persecution, discouragement, health problems, temptations, tests of faith, and other problems ~ https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/402014683?q=2+cor+4%3A16&p=par

The Only Way Any Battles Spiritual or Physical should be fought, through *Jehovah God Word * ~ ? ? ? The Eagle does not fight the snake ? on the ground. It picks it up into the sky and changes the battle ground, and then it releases the snake into the sky. The snake has no stamina, no power and no balance in the air. It is useless, weak and vulnerable unlike on the ground where it is powerful wise and deadly. Take your fight into the spiritual realm by praying and when you are in the spiritual realm God takes over your battles. Don't fight the enemy in his comfort zone, change the battle grounds like the Eagle and let God take charge through your earnest prayer. You'll be assured of clean victory. Pray without ceasing. ? ? ?
