They Have Remained Healthy in Faith

What has helped longtime Christians to remain healthy in faith and to maintain their spiritual vigor?  Here is what some have said: "Reading scriptures that focus on our relationship with Jehovah is very important.  Most nights, I recite Psalm 23 and 91." -Olive, baptized in 1930. 

"I have made it a point to be present at every baptism talk and to listen carefully, ad if it were my own baptism.  Keeping my dedication fresh has been an important step in remaining faithful." -Harry, baptized in 1946.  

Daily prayer is vital-always asking for Jehovah's help, protection, and blessing, 'taking notice of him in all our ways.' " (Proverbs 3:5, 6) -Antonio, baptized in 1951. 

"Listening to experiences of  those still faithfully serving Jehovah after so many years renews my determination to remain loyal and faithful to him. -Joan, baptized in 1954. 

"It is important not  to think too much of oneself.  What we have ies due to God's undeserved kindness. Having this perspective keeps us looking in the right direction for the spiritual nourishment needed to endure till the end." -Arlene, baptized in 1954
