Thought this pic... which is so pretty, was really fitting for the link I am sharing.When I saw this yesterday... i just thought it was the coolest thing!
http://www.clicktop10.com/2013/07/top-10-most-popular-magazines-of-2013/
the top 10 most popular magazines.
I can understand why it is... for many reasons.
- the world is going paperless
- cost for publishing is so high
- people can't afford subscriptions
- the world is starving for spiritual direction
- WT & Awake are paid for by voluntary donations
- It is distributed world wide
- little in shipping as they are mostly hand delivered
- life saving guidance
- encouraging and comforting
- life changing
- practical instruction
- more than double the languages then any other mag
- it is from our Grand Creator!
I may have missed a few points as well, but what other magazine on that list comes even close to just how encouraging, comforting and instructional as the WT & Awake? NONE.
It was just so exciting to read, that the WT & Awake are published more than double than any other mag. And no advertising in them. I hadn't even thought about that aspect before. Every one of those mags have junk that falls out of them and you have to flip through so many pages of people trying to get you to buy junk you don't need.
So today/last night, just felt cruddy. I couldn't wake up this morning. I was half asleep when mom called for me to hook up for the meeting. Lauren and Steph aren't feeling well either. Steph's back is flipping out on her with really bad spasms. Her whole back, but then she worked 10 or 11 hours yesterday. So it was just the guys who went today to the hall today. I am headed to go get some meds now for my massive headache. I think I am going to try and get some prescription sunglasses/bi-focal. Not that I spend a ton of time outside, but even in the house, with these headaches I get, it would be helpful. I should try to do that soon. We paid a few bills off, so I will talk to EO about it soon.
I found the WT lesson very encouraging today (and the talk) but lately I don't feel like I am as positive in my speech as I would like to be. There has been so much drama and chaos. A few times I have gotten so much instructions from the brothers/C.O. (like not having groups over for ministry. as letter writing is only for those who have serious health problems or elderly who can't hardly get around anymore) then more recently overwhelming family stress. So Jehovah's loyalty in these stressful times is so very comforting. And I am so thankful for it!!!
