SOMETHING TO CHEER YOU UP You feeling kind of low? You say you were out witnessing in your heavy winter suit and it suddenly got warmer, and you were all sweaty and itchy. You say that when you got to the first door and rang the bell that it kept ringing and because it was stuck. That it kept ringing and ringing until you heard a baby crying and a woman came to the door all dripping wet, wrapped in a bath towel and awfully mad. So, did you calmly go ahead and try to present your sermon, and then forgot the last scripture? You finally reach in your bag to present your literature and discover that you sat your bag down in a puddle and the books, magazines and booklets have soaked up the muddy water, but you smile anyway and reach in your picket for a handbill, and then you remember you are still carrying last weeks. Has it got you a little worried? You say you have been trying to preach the good news to a man who thinks you have insulted his wife, and he is a 250 pound Indian Wrestler, who works as a bouncer at the local casino. Did he kick your book bag over the fence and tell you if you disturbed him again, he will break you in half. Then he slams the door in your face and you go to walk away and find that your new coat is stuck in the door, so you pull it until a piece tears off and you fall flat on your face. Now you say that a dog is trying to tear the seat off your pants and the wind is blowing your handbills all over the place and a gang of children have gathered around to laugh and throw stones at you, and the police are coming and you forgot your Defending booklet and left it at home? Is this what makes you so downhearted? You say that you have to be at the meeting in fifteen minutes but the car wont start, your shoelace just broke and the laundry didnt come, so you have no shirt to wear. Then you go to the hall late and hear the chairman announce that you have a part of the program and you forgot to prepare it. Then you sit down and discover that you have the wrong book. You are next, so you turn to the person beside you to borrow his copy and it is the Circuit Overseer, who just stopped in to see how things are going. A cold nervous chill comes over you and you hear your name called. You reach up straighten your tie and feel something wet on your suit. Yes, your pen has been leaking. Does this all have you feeling discouraged? You say that your brother believes in evolution, your sister is going to marry a Buddhist, and your mother just subscribed to Our Sunday Visitor with the only dollar you had saved for your Watchtower renewal, and your father is trying levitation and clairvoyance on you? You havent got trouble: Think of the mess that you would be in if you werent one of Jehovahs Witnesses!!! Hahaha I hope that this cheered you.
