I took my wife out for breakfast this morning and on the way back home as we walked through the park about 10:30 am, we saw the group doing park witnessing. I approached two elders and greeted them, this, after four years of not hearing anything from them. It was just as if it was yesterday, nothing has changed. We miss you, come to the meetings, here is the schedule. Come to the District Convention during the July Fourth weekend.We took some magazines, six issues, and the new brochure released at last year's convention which they are studying now at the bookstudy. Each one wanted us to come to their bookstudy! I use to conduct at our home, as I was a Elder back then. Stepped down and faded away.
Nothing was said about our being inactive. Where are you working now? I'm a floater, I could be anywhere at anytime. Oh, give me your phone number, so we exchanged numbers.
And then, guess what? It's time to get a cup of coffee , I kid you not!
So we parted. I am expecting a phone call, shepherding call sometime soon.
I am not ready to go toe to toe just yet . Btw, the sisters gave us a big hug, not just a hand shake, even though I just held out my hand respectfully, no handshake, you get a big hug, we missed you.
