26 "But Lot’s wife, who was behind him, began to look back, and she became a pillar of salt." (Genesis 19:26). ????
“REMEMBER the wife of Lot.” (Luke 17:32) That warning given by Jesus Christ nearly 2,000 years ago is now more important than ever. But what did Jesus mean by this solemn warning? His Jewish audience needed no further explanation. They knew what had happened to Lot’s wife. While fleeing Sodom with her family, she had disobediently looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt.—Read Genesis 19:17, 26.
????
Why may Lot’s wife have looked back, and what did her disobedient act cost her?
????
But why did Lot’s wife look back? Was she curious about what was happening? Did she turn back because of disbelief or lack of faith? Or, rather, was hers a longing gaze for all the things that she had left behind in Sodom? (Luke 17:31) 
????
Whatever the reason for her looking back, she paid for her disobedient act with her life. Just think of it! She died the same day as those perverted inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah. No wonder Jesus said: “Remember the wife of Lot”!

People who are not happy with themselves, cannot possibly be happy with anyone else....

WE CAN HAVE MUCH JOY FROM RAISING CHILDREN! - THEY ARE A GIFT! - TEACH THEM AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU GREAT JOY NOW AND IN THE FUTURE! ??????
Daily Attention From Infancy
??????
Parents have to give almost constant attention to a newborn. However, does the baby need only physical or material attention on a daily basis? To God’s servant Timothy, the apostle Paul wrote: “From infancy you have known the holy writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation.” (2 Timothy 3:15) So the parental attention Timothy received, even from infancy, was also of a spiritual kind. But when does infancy start?
 ??????
The Greek word Paul used here (bre′phos) is also applied to an unborn child. Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptizer, told her relative Mary: “As the sound of your greeting fell upon my ears, the infant [bre′phos] in my womb leaped with great gladness.” (Luke 1:44) Thus, even the unborn are called infants, and the Bible shows that they can respond to activity outside the womb. Should prenatal care, which is often encouraged today, therefore include attention to the unborn infant’s spiritual welfare?
??????
This is something to consider, since evidence reveals that the unborn can either benefit from or be adversely affected by what they hear. A music director found that various scores he was rehearsing sounded strangely familiar, especially the cello part. When he mentioned the names of the musical works to his mother, a professional cellist, she said that these were the very musical compositions she had been rehearsing when she was pregnant with him. Similarly, the unborn may be negatively affected when their mothers habitually watch TV soap operas. Thus, a medical journal spoke of “fetal soap addiction.”
??????
Realizing the benefit of positive stimuli to infants, many parents begin to read, talk, and sing to their child even before it is born. You can do the same. While your infant may not understand the words, it will likely benefit from your soothing voice and its loving tone. After birth, the child will begin to comprehend your words, perhaps much sooner than you think. In only two or three years, a child learns a complex language just by being exposed to it. A baby can also begin to learn the “pure language” of Bible truth.—Zephaniah 3:9.
??????
Specialized Care That Is Needed
Children also are like plants in that not all have the same characteristics, nor do they all respond to the same methods of care. Wise parents will respect the differences and will avoid comparing one child with another. If your children are to blossom into wholesome adults, you need to observe their distinctive personality traits, cultivating the good ones and weeding out the bad. What if you detect a weakness or improper trend, perhaps toward dishonesty, materialism, or selfishness? Correct it kindly, even as Jesus corrected the weaknesses of his apostles. (Mark 9:33-37) In particular, commend each child regularly for his strengths and good traits.
 ??????
What children especially need is loving personal attention. Jesus took time to provide little ones with such special attention, even during the busy final days of his ministry. (Mark 10:13-16, 32) Parents, follow that example! Unselfishly make time to be with your children. And do not be ashamed to show them genuine love. Put your arms around them, as Jesus did. Give them warm, affectionate hugs and kisses. When parents of well-adjusted young adults were asked what advice they could offer other parents, among the most frequent responses were: ‘Love abundantly,’ ‘spend time together,’ ‘develop mutual respect,’ ‘really listen to them,’ ‘offer guidance rather than a speech,’ and ‘be realistic.’
??????
Providing such specialized attention can be a joy!

Jehovah Does Not Forget His People - HOPE ON AND BE COURAGEOUS! -
He is constantly thinking of his loyal ones. He remembers them as if their names were engraved on his hands ~ ??
(Isaiah 49:16) Look! Upon [my] palms I have engraved you. Your walls are in front of me constantly."
?????
(Isaiah 49:13-14) . . .Give a glad cry, YOU heavens, and be joyful, you earth. Let the mountains become cheerful with a glad outcry. For Jehovah has comforted his people, and he shows pity upon his own afflicted ones. 14 But Zion kept saying: “Jehovah has left me, and Jehovah himself has forgotten me.” 
?????
(Song of Solomon 8:6-7) . . .“Place me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; because love is as strong as death is, insistence on exclusive devotion is as unyielding as She′ol is. Its blazings are the blazings of a fire, the flame of Jah. 7 Many waters themselves are not able to extinguish love, nor can rivers themselves wash it away. . ."
?????
(Isaiah 26:1) In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. He sets salvation itself for walls and rampart."
?????
(Isaiah 60:18) “No more will violence be heard in your land, despoiling or breakdown within your boundaries. And you will certainly call your own walls Salvation and your gates Praise."
?????
In his letter to the Galatians, the apostle Paul exhorted Christians: “Let us not give up in doing what is fine, for in due season we shall reap if we do not tire out.” (Galatians 6:9) To the Hebrews he wrote the encouraging words: “God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name.” (Hebrews 6:10) 
?????
Never should we feel that Jehovah has forgotten his people. Like ancient Zion, Christians have good reason to rejoice and patiently wait on Jehovah. He holds firm to his covenant terms and promises.
?????
Now that he has taken us up into his theocratic organization, we must never leave it, never cease meeting with it. He never forgets his faithful organization and so cannot leave and forsake it. If Jehovah never abandons his organization, then for us to abandon it would be equal to abandoning him. If we abide in his unforgettable organization, he will never forget us. For him to forget and leave us would mean our eternal destruction. Never may that happen!
 

We are grateful! ?????? Yes! ???

DON'T EVER GIVE UP! WE HAVE H.O.P.E. YES HOPE! 
H•O•P•E
It can mean trust, reliance; desire accompanied with expectation of what is desired or belief that it is attainable; one on whom hopes are centered; a source of hopeful expectation, or promise; something that is hoped for, or an object of hope. The Hebrew root verb qa·wah′, from which come terms rendered “hope,” basically means “wait for” with eager expectation. (Ge 49:18)
In the Christian Greek Scriptures, the sense of the Greek term el·pis′ (hope) is “expectation of good.” (Romans 5:1-5) . .
Therefore, now that we have been declared righteous as a result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have gained our approach by faith into this undeserved kindness in which we now stand; and let us exult, based on hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but let us exult while in tribulations, since we know that tribulation produces endurance; 4 endurance, in turn, an approved condition; the approved condition, in turn, hope, 5 and the hope does not lead to disappointment; because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy spirit, which was given us. (Romans 8:22-25) . . .For we know that all creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now. 23 Not only that, but we ourselves also who have the firstfruits, namely, the spirit, yes, we ourselves groan within ourselves, while we are earnestly waiting for adoption as sons, the release from our bodies by ransom. 24 For we were saved in [this] hope; but hope that is seen is not hope, for when a man sees a thing, does he hope for it? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we keep on waiting for it with endurance."
WE CAN WAIT AND DEPEND ON GOD'S PROMISES FOR WE HAVE H•O•P•E!

Don't Give Up Convention Last Week - Auditorio Benito Juàrez, Mexico ????

Ready. Set. Go! Our "Don't Give Up" convention season has begun!.. Attending at Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, California, USA
Thank you! 

1 Corinthians 14:40 says: 
But let all things take place decently and by arrangement.
What are some ways we can apply this scripture?
Some point is here.
CLOTHING:
 Let says that, Friday is your meeting day, and today is Monday. Start from today and check if the cloth you will put on to the meeting on Friday is clean. Porlish your shoe and keep it well.
COMMENTS:
Study at home so that you will be able to give meaningful comment at the meeting.
BIBLE PRINCIPLE:
The heart of the righteous one meditates before answering,
But the mouth of the wicked blurts out bad things.
PROVERBS 15:28.
MEETING BAG:
Make sure that you arrange your meeting bag and keep, remember to put your song book, your Bible and other things you will going to use at the meeting.
HOME TO VISIT:
Arrange your time so that you can visit brother or sister or age one who are sick or who need help.
PREACHING WORK:
Before going out for preaching, please study well at home. Look for the question you will ask the householder to know what is in their heart, so that, you can start your preaching from there. Study also, the question that if the householder ask you, you can also answer him.
If we do all of this, we will find out that our days will going to be successful.
BIBLE PRINCIPLE:
The plans of the diligent surely lead to success,
But all who are hasty surely head for poverty.
PROVERBS 21:5.
Since we want to have success in all we do, Me we continue to let all things take place decently and by arrangements!
Thank you!
