Dear friend in Christ Michael,

As we come to the start of another year 2025, I want to have a look at the journey we had in 2024. 2024 has been a year of learning from each other , problems and triumphs that we have experienced. 2024 has been a year of memories and lessons with joy and perseverance. You have really added something that is unique in many aspects and I am really grateful.

As for gratitude and renewal, I wish to share an inspiring thought from the Urantia Book, which sounds awesome as we move into the new year 2025
"Love is the desire to do good to others." (The Urantia Book, 56:10.21). It reminds me of the boundless strength of love and how it can turn lives. Lets carry on the spirit of togetherness filled with trust and honesty and also spreading kindness and bringing up those that surround us.

Keeping our heart and forgiving each other's time is timeless as we reflect on the new year ahead. My wish for you is for your lives to be filled with good health, success, happiness, love . May you find peace in both happiness and uncertainty. May your earnings be multiplied and God bless the works of your hands.

With each other, entering 2025. with hope and commitment to make urantia a better place to live by kindness, compassion and understanding. We wish you and your loved ones a happy, joyous and prosperous new year 2025.

The more closely man approaches God through love, the greater the reality actuality of than man, 117:4.14.
Thank you for being an important part of my life, I look forward to continuing our journey too in the new year 2025

Freedom and Unconscious Goodness
Excerpt: Ch. 19, pt. 2, The Ordination of the Twelve
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

In answer to one of Peter's many questions, Jesus said, I want to set people free so they can start out fresh as little children on the new and better life. Jesus always insisted that true goodness must be unconscious, not letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing. The three apostles were amazed when they realized that Jesus's religion made no provision for spiritual self-examination.

True Happiness and Spiritual Values
Excerpt: Ch. 19, pt. 2, The Ordination of the Twelve
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Jesus frequently warned his listeners against envy and wanting what other people have, telling them that people's happiness does not consist in the abundance of their material possessions. Many times he said, what would it profit a person to gain the whole world and lose their own soul? Jesus did not attack the possession of property, but he did insist that it is essential for eternal survival that spiritual values come first.

Interpreting the Spirit's Teaching
Excerpt: Ch. 19, pt. 2, The Ordination of the Twelve
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

The twelve could not understand all they were taught, but they were much helped by this instruction. Then Jesus said, But you will stumble over my teaching because you want to interpret my message literally. You are slow to discern the spirit of my teaching. Again, you must remember that you are my messengers, that you are beholden to live your lives in spirit as I have lived mine. You are my personal representatives, but do not err in expecting all people to live as you do in every particular way.

Excerpt: Ch. 1, Birth and Infancy of Jesus, 3/9
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Mary was in her house and Joseph was still at work when Gabriel appeared to her in mid-November. After Mary calmed down Gabriel told her what he had told Elizabeth and also that she was pregnant with a son; that her pregnancy was blessed by God; that she and Joseph were supposed to name their son Joshua, and that their son Joshua would announce the kingdom of heaven on Earth…. Gabriel waited until after Mary was already pregnant before appearing to her. There was no virgin birth: Jesus was conceived as normal the night before Gabriel’s visit, which was the only supernatural event that happened.
