How can you help an older brother or sister feel less burdened?

We can help them stay active with their spiritual activities, it can be a great source of strength, in the example that we saw in the video the sisters who write comments in large letters in order to participate in the meetings are a good example.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

As observed in the video, the presence of the brothers and the practical support provided the sister with a feeling of care and love, which was very comforting for her, since in this way she saw the hand of Jehovah.

We can also help adapt participation in spiritual activities according to their needs, such as providing accessible reading materials for them, summarizing speeches, or even organizing small study groups in the home of these brothers. This allows them to continue feeling part of the congregation's activity, which can be very encouraging in strengthening their faith.

As true Christians we love older brothers as if they were part of our family. That is why we are willing to spend time and energy helping each other with whatever is needed. We can visit them and help us with daily activities, how to clean the house, wash their clothes, prepare food for them, help them prepare for meetings, we can also talk to them about positive things, since age makes some become discouraged or even depressed. If we do it this way, we can help them so that their load weighs less. 

We must be aware that their strength is not the same as when they were young, and without a doubt they are very happy to receive help.

We can also bring them basic food or bring ready-made food and eat together, and this will undoubtedly make our older siblings feel cared for. We can also help them prepare their comments so that they can comment at the meetings. To help an older brother or sister make their load lighter, it is essential to provide emotional and practical support, visiting them regularly, not only gives them company, but It also allows them to feel that they are not alone in their struggles, these visits can include helping with household tasks such as cleaning, cooking and laundry, which can be a great relief for them.

We could also adapt the preaching so that they can participate such as using preaching carts, which allows them to continue their service to Jehovah in a more accessible way, this type of support not only strengthens their faith, but also shows them that their contribution is valuable. for the congregation.

To full-time servants. 

How can you help a full-time servant lighten his burden?

One way to help a full-time Servant to make his burden less burdensome is through hospitality and practical help. In the brother's story, the presence of friends like Ramón and Melody during the earthquake and their concern for He was offered great practical and emotional help. 

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

The story of the brother who moved to another country makes us see how the congregation played a crucial role during a difficult trial. The brothers not only provided company and comfort, but also took concrete measures, such as helping with transportation to the hospital, providing food, and taking care of the children. This type of support demonstrates how tangible caregiving can significantly ease the weight of burdens faced by others. 

Emotional and spiritual support is essential to lighten the burden of a full-time servant taking the time to listen to their concerns offering words of encouragement and praying together can be a great help letting them see that they are not alone and that they have someone to count on. In difficult times it can make a big difference in their emotional and spiritual well-being, and sharing experiences and testimonies can inspire them and renew their enthusiasm for your service.

Practical help is also essential for a full-time servant. Offering assistance with everyday tasks such as household maintenance, transportation or providing meals allows them to concentrate more on their work. These forms of support can significantly reduce their daily burden and provide them with the time and energy necessary to fully dedicate themselves to your service. 

This type of support demonstrates how brothers are willing to help in times of need, which can make full-time Servants feel supported and valued. The willingness to offer help and support during challenges can significantly ease the burden of Your load.

We can help ourselves by showing hospitality, such as inviting them to eat, offering to take us to our car, or giving them some money for transportation or for other things, we can also try to be their friends and ask them to preach with them, in this way we can make their load is more bearable.

For example, not leaving them alone, since many of our brothers who serve full time have left everything for the love of Jehovah and have moved alone far from their friends and family, so on our part we must be hospitable and show them that they always We will be there for everything you need and that you are not alone because you have a huge family wherever you go.

To the foreigners. 

How can you help those who are going through difficult situations to feel less burdened?

In the case of the brother and his wife, the invitation to meetings and Bible study offered new purpose and joy to their lives, the brothers' assistance during their daughter's medical challenge not only offered practical help, but also his faith, and showed him the value of being part of Jehovah's Organization, sometimes spiritual support and a sense of community can be as valuable as material support in times of crisis.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

In the case of foreigners, we know that it is not easy for them, life can be very hard, being in another country can make their situation very difficult, therefore, Jehovah reminds us that we must be kind, and think about the problems that they may have and provide them with our support.

We can help them, being attentive to what they need, and to help them, as we saw in the video, it does not necessarily have to be a baptized brother, but we must also show true interest in those who are still students. Therefore, if they go through something difficult, we must be there to encourage them and provide them with some attention, such as perhaps food, or to take care of a family member, as the case in the video shows.

Offering emotional support to those who are going through difficult situations is essential to alleviate their burden, listening to them and showing empathy can make a big difference in the life of someone who feels overwhelmed, which is why it is important to offer words of comfort and encouragement. letting them know that they are not alone. In addition, accompanying them during their times of need and being present for them can provide great emotional relief. 

Providing practical help is another effective way to ease the burden of those facing difficulties. Offering to do everyday tasks such as shopping, cooking or taking care of children can be a great help to someone who is going through a difficult time, this type of Practical actions not only relieve stress and pressure, but also show love and solidarity, reflecting Christian principles of service and mutual support.
