I had just received an e-mail about the death of a faithful brother and sent a condolence e-mail to his wife and niece. My last words were "We look forward to rejoicing with you when Jehovah resurrects him." I then got my coffee and read the text. How often it happens that the Bible text for the day is EXACTLY what we needed! Although the commentary focused on the importance of Christian elders following the counsel of Romans 12:15, it is certainly good for us all to show empathy for our brothers and sisters. In fact the WT article that the text was taken from is Shepherds Who Are “Examples to the Flock

How very true. The elders are very encouraging in good times and bad. Being led by Jehovah's spirit enables them to give wise and loving counsel in all matters.

Not much longer and the wicked one will be no more.
Jehovah is indeed speeding the work of gathering all those who will listen to his voice.
Had a wonderful day out in service today!

Rejoice with people who rejoice
Weep with people who weep.
Jesus shared in the joys and sorrows of his followers.
These examples are given:
Jesus was happy when his disciples returned with good news of success in their preaching work
and Jesus was quite sad when he heard of his friend Lazarus dying.It goes on to say if you have needs to express about your feelings of sadness or happiness to pass it along to the congregation.

Why not go ahead and print it out right here, for all to enjoy? That way I won't have to read it and I won't have to be rude to you, at my door.

This is not a question it is what is called chatting and it is against the rules.
