47:3.1 On the mansion worlds the resurrected mortal survivors resume their lives just where they left off when overtaken by death. When you go from Urantia to the first mansion world, you will notice considerable change, but if you had come from a more normal and progressive sphere of time, you would hardly notice the difference except for the fact that you were in possession of a different body; the tabernacle of flesh and blood has been left behind on the world of nativity.

Saving Time
The change in time, the Daylight savings,
Makes it dark for mourning readings.
But now our evenings will be lit.
More light for work, we do not sit.

Does it really make a difference?
Does an hour of light have much significance?
How can just one hour of light
Create much difference in our plights?

All of a sudden, our world is shaken.
We’re up before we do awaken.
Darkness shrouds the morning light.
When evening comes, the lights too bright.

We are just as time goes by
Until the fall when change applies.
And we go through this all again
Reversing what we did begin.

In my opinion stable time
Makes more sense, it’s God’s design.
If this time change’s truly smart,
And I desire it with all my heart!

Thank You Father, the flow of time
Is very steady, by Your design.
Why should we disrupt the flow
Twice a year? I’d like to know.

103:5.6 The attempt to secure equal good for the self and for the greatest number of other selves presents a problem which cannot always be satisfactorily resolved in a time-space frame. Given an eternal life, such antagonisms can be worked out, but in one short human life they are incapable of solution. Jesus referred to such a paradox when he said: “Whosoever shall save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for the sake of the kingdom, shall find it.”

The Good Loser
The skies are gray, but they are dry.
They may get wet when the day goes by.
Tonight a snowy mix predicted.
Will the roads then all get wicked?

Slippery as the roads might be,
We must deal realistically,
with the work that must be done.
Decisions made by everyone.

Some folks have to drive at night.
Delivering goods for our delight.
They keep the lights on for all of us.
To them our night we do entrust.

I’m glad I do not work at night.
But if I did, I’d find delight.
The moon shines with the whitest light.
When it is full, our night is bright.

There’s always something good in life
When even in the toughest strife.
Look for all the hows and whys.
Find the reasons that underlie.

Wisdom comes especially well
To those who lose and those who fell.
Learning how to stay on top
Successful ways we must adapt.

When you lose, you really see
The true course of reality.
It’s apparent to your eyes.
Think, please think, and then apprise.

Thank You, Father, life points to You.
Especially if we try to do
The best in life we can conceive.
In You, I truly do believe!
