    Queen Esther got a reaction from alpeshgamadia in Daily text, Tuesday, 16. February 2016   
    I am trying to please all people in all things, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many, so that they may be saved.—1 Cor. 10:33.
    When we call at someone’s home, we should always show respect for the individual to whom we speak. If we find someone who is receptive, we should give a good witness but we should not overstay our welcome. The householder may have set this time aside to do something else that he views as important. If he says he is busy, we can state that we will be brief—and we should keep our promise. (Matt. 5:37) When ending a conversation, we do well to ask the person when it would be convenient for him to see us again. Some publishers have found it effective to say: “I would enjoy visiting you again. Would it be best if I were to call or send a text message before I stop by?” When we adapt to the schedule of those in the territory, we are following the example of Paul, as noted in today’s text. w14 5/15 2:13

    Amazing True Story of a Mother......  Mom's love is great ❤
    When Carolyn Isbister put her 20oz baby on her chest for a cuddle, she thought
    that it would be the only chance she would ever have to hold her.
    Doctors had told the parents that baby Rachel only had only minutes to live because her heart was beating once every ten seconds and she was not breathing. Isbister remembers:
    I didn’t want her to die being cold. So I lifted her out of her blanket
    and put her against my skin to warm her up. Her feet were so cold. It was the only cuddle I was going to have with her, so I wanted to remember the moment.” Then something remarkable happened.  ;o)

    The warmth of her mother’s skin kick started Rachael’s heart into beating properly, which allowed her to take little breaths of her own. We couldn’t believe it – and neither could the doctors. She let out a tiny cry.
    The doctors came in and said there was still no hope – but I wasn’t
    letting go of her. We had her blessed by the hospital chaplain,
    and waited for her to slip away. But she still hung on.
    And then amazingly the pink color began to return to her cheeks. She literally was turning from gray to pink before our eyes, and she began to warm up too. The sad part is that when the baby
    was born, doctors took one look at her and said ‘no’.
    They didn’t even try to help her with her breathing as they said it
    would just prolong her dying. Everyone just gave up on her,” her
    mom remembered. At 24 weeks a womb infection had led to her premature labor and birth and Isbister (who also has two children Samuel, 10, and Kirsten, 8 ) said, “We were terrified we were
    going to lose her. I had suffered three miscarriages before, so we
    didn’t think there was much hope.” When Rachael was born she was grey and lifeless. Ian Laing, a consultant neonatologist at the hospital, said: “All the signs were that the little one was not going to make it and we took the decision to let mum have a cuddle as it was all we could do. Two hours later the wee thing was crying. This is indeed a miracle baby and I have seen nothing like it
    in my 27 years of practice. I have not the slightest doubt that mother’s love saved her daughter.”
    Rachael was moved onto a ventilator where she continued to
    make steady progress and was tube and syringe fed her mother’s
    pumped breastmilk. Isbister said, “The doctors said, that she had proved she was a fighter and that she now deserved some intensive care as there was some hope.
    She had done it all on her own – without any medical intervention or drugs. She had clung on to life –
    and it was all because of that cuddle. It had warmed up her body and regulated her heart and breathing enough for her to start fighting. At 5 weeks she was taken off the ventilator and began breastfeeding on her own.  At four months Rachel
    went home with her parents, weighing 8lbs – the same as any
    other healthy newborn. Because Rachel had suffered from a lack of
    oxygen doctors said there was a high risk of damage to her brain.
    But a scan showed no evidence of any problems and today Rachel is on par with
    her peers. Rachel’s mom tells us, “She is doing so well. When we brought her home,
    the doctors told us that she was a remarkable little girl. And most of all,
    she just loves her cuddles. She will sleep for hours, just curled into my chest. It was
    that first cuddle which saved her life – and I’m just so glad I trusted my instinct
    and picked her up when I did. Otherwise she wouldn’t be here today.” ❤

    I  wanted  to  change  the  world.....
    When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
    I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
    When I found  I couldn't change the nation,  I began to focus on my town.  I  couldn't  change  the town and as  an older man,  I tried to change my family.
    Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing  I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize, that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world...

    Queen Esther got a reaction from Blanchie DeGrate in A Glass of Milk, Paid in Full.   
    A glass of Milk, paid in Full...
    One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.

    Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk.
    He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
    “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.”
    He said, “Then I thank you from my heart.”
    As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

    Year’s later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.
    Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
    Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.

    After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.
    She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She began to read the following words:

    “Paid in full with one glass of milk."
    "Signed, Dr. Howard Kelly.”

    Queen Esther reacted to Arauna in Learning new language?   
    I speak German and a form of Dutch.  Most Germans and Dutch persons are multi-linguists... so I think it is better to learn one of the more rare languages so that one can assist those with little access to our literature.  I am meeting many Kurds in the field (which is a very distant cousin of Persian).   I discovered there is only one translation of the new testament in Kurdish and it is not a very good one.... so I have been looking forward to getting one from our organization.

    Well done, good and faithful slave!—Matt. 25:21.
    In the four illustrations recorded at Matthew 24:45 to 25:46, Jesus highlights traits that would distinguish his true followers in these last days. In the illustration involving the faithful slave, Jesus highlights the need for the small group of anointed ones entrusted with feeding his domestics during the last days to be faithful and discreet. In the parable of the virgins, Jesus stresses that all his anointed followers would need to be prepared and to be vigilant, knowing that Jesus is coming but not knowing the day or the hour. In the parable of the talents, Jesus shows that the anointed would need to be diligent in carrying out their Christian responsibilities. Jesus directs the final illustration, the parable of the sheep and the goats, to those with an earthly hope. He emphasizes that they would have to be loyal and give full support to Jesus’ anointed brothers on earth. w15 3/15 3:3

    The crowds were astounded at his way of teaching.—Matt. 7:28.
    Jesus used good judgment when he preached the good news, choosing “gracious words” that amazed his listeners. (Luke 4:22) He often let God’s Word speak for him—reading, quoting, or referring to just the right scriptures to make his point. (Matt. 4:4, 7, 10; 12:1-5; Luke 4:16-21) Jesus also explained the Scriptures, doing so in ways that moved the hearts of his listeners. After his resurrection, when speaking to two disciples on their way to Emmaus, he “interpreted to them things pertaining to himself in all the Scriptures.” The disciples later said: “Were not our hearts burning within us . . . as he was fully opening up the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:27, 32) Jesus was “mild-tempered” in his spirit and attitude. (Matt. 11:29) He was always patient with his disciples despite their failings. (Mark 14:34-38; Luke 22:24-27) He remained calm even when he was treated unjustly.—1 Pet. 2:23. w15 2/15 2:11, 12
