151:3.15 Before he dismissed the group for the night, Jesus said: “Now will I tell you the last of the parable of the sower. I would test you to know how you will receive this: The kingdom of heaven is also like a man who cast good seed upon the earth; and while he slept by night and went about his business by day, the seed sprang up and grew, and although he knew not how it came about, the plant came to fruit. First there was the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And then when the grain was ripe, he put forth the sickle, and the harvest was finished. He who has an ear to hear, let him hear.”

Planting

I caught up with sleep last night.

I got up after it was light.

I feel much better than yesterday.

Lots to do on this fine day.

Looking forward to today.

Working with the soil is play.

The sun cooperates with its rays.

The soil gets moisture when skies are gray.

Spring is such a wonderful time.

Growing is by God‘s design.

Planting seeds is center stage.

We watch them grow through every phase.

Spring’s a time for starting things.

Beauty is what our God brings.

I know that if we do the work,

God rewards the time we took.

God has a plan for all of us.

Advancing in the world’s a must.

He loves us all, but makes us choose

How we live and how we cruise.

Choosing Love as our direction

Is never wrong, but imperfection

May impede until we learn.

Lessons learned are what we earn.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

Spring’s a time for growing fun.

Growing plants all start from seed.

We all grow from our Good deeds.

Paul Anderson

48:7.26 24. The destiny of eternity is determined moment by moment by the achievements of the day by day living. The acts of today are the destiny of tomorrow.

Advancing

Early morning things to do,

But free this afternoon, is true.

I cannot linger on this path,

There’re more mistakes, when one goes fast.

Patience with a thought out path,

Doesn’t work when one goes fast.

One must think before one acts.

Awareness made in what you lack.

Any risks are minimized,

When you truly do apprise,

All the factors on your road,

And then adjust for the best mode.

Trust the Lord, He’ll give to you,

What is needed to see you through.

To Him, it is a path well known.

So be aware of what is shown.

Learning is the way of God.

Advancing is what He does cause.

Always testing with His challenge.

Advancing you to your advantage.

Remember, that He always loves.

That’s the way you’re going to solve,

All the mysteries in your life.

He’ll help you learn through any strife.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

The way ahead has just begun.

You help me be a loving son.

The way ahead, things must be done.

Paul Anderson

25:4.17Technical Advisers are dedicated to the work of preventing delay, facilitating progress, and counseling achievement. There is always a best and right way to do things; there is alwaysthe technique of perfection, a divine method, and these advisers know how to direct us all in the finding of this better way.

Always Better

A lighter sleep last night, I note.

But I was rested when I woke.

Always much to do each day.

Choir’s on my list today.

I hope to visit with my friend,

But that may wait till this weekend.

In any case, there will be time

To talk with him, by God’s design.

I will look for Good to do.

I’ll try to make a wish come true.

A day designed to be the best.

I give my thanks, I do feel blessed.

We all receive all that we can.

God gives to all, then does command

The best from each and everyone.

He loves each living, daughter/son.

Always look, to see if you,

Can do better, in what you do.

Be a learner in the Kingdom.

Get in step, and find God’s rhythm.

There is a rhythm on this earth.

The song within is filled with mirth.

God’s plan has been there since your birth.

God wants us all to find Him first.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

Learning is something never done.

Always finding better ways

To improve life, throughout the day.

Paul Anderson

101:6.8 Revelation teaches mortal man that, to start such a magnificent and intriguing adventure through space by means of the progression of time, he should begin by the organization of knowledge into idea-decisions; next, mandate wisdom to labor unremittingly at its noble task of transforming self-possessed ideas into increasingly practical but nonetheless supernal ideals, even those concepts which are so reasonable as ideas and so logical as ideals that the Adjuster dares so to combine and spiritize them as to render them available for such association in the finite mind as will constitute them the actual human complement thus made ready for the action of the Truth Spirit of the Sons, the time-space manifestations of Paradise truth – universal truth. The co-ordination of idea-decisions, logical ideals, and divine truth constitutes the possession of a righteous character, the prerequisite for mortal admission to the ever-expanding and increasingly spiritual realities of the morontia worlds.

Coordinate

Early morning jobs to do.

Record’s interface must be True.

Coordinate all agencies

To help with what can be conceived.

Consistency must be achieved

Between all branches of life’s tree.

That way our lives consistently

Are directed positively.

Mistakes on records can impede

The way ahead, what folks believe.

Some can be fixed on the phone,

But some require trips to roam.

We will roam around today.

There are appointments on the way.

Integrate the ways to go.

Try to be within God’s flow.

Patiently, the way ahead

Will be thought out, I’ll use my head.

Time to change—coordinate

Always helps accommodate.

Confidence will mark my path.

No need to rush, I won’t go fast.

However, I will be resolute

And find solutions on my route.

Thank You Mother/Father/Son.

Everyday there’re always some

Things to learn, and then to do.

I’m on the road to find the Truth.

Paul Anderson

109:0.1 THE Thought Adjusters are the children of the universe career, and indeed the virgin Adjusters must gain experience while mortal creatures grow and develop. As the personality of the human child expands for the struggles of evolutionary existence, so does the Adjuster wax great in the rehearsals of the next stage of ascending life. As the child acquires adaptative versatility for his adult activities through the social and play life of early childhood, so does the indwelling Adjuster achieve skill for the next stage of cosmic life by virtue of the preliminary mortal planning and rehearsing of those activities which have to do with the morontia career. Human existence constitutes a period of practice which is effectively utilized by the Adjuster in preparing for the increased responsibilities and the greater opportunities of a future life. But the Adjuster’s efforts, while living within you, are not so much concerned with the affairs of temporal life and planetary existence. Today, the Thought Adjusters are, as it were, rehearsing the realities of the universe career in the evolving minds of human beings.

Planning

The day begins, I did sleep well.

Much to do this day, pray tell.

Destinations, folks to see,

A meeting will become and be.

This will be a busy week.

Appointments every day, do peak,

Interspersed with normal days.

A rhythm that I will display.

Scheduling the days took planning.

My mind was used in their designing.

I know my days, and what’s required.

To integrate what’s new’s desired.

Looking forward to this day.

I’ll learn some things along the way.

The sun is out, the skies aren’t gray.

Working can turn into play.

I anticipate the best

For this day, and nothing less.

With loving kindness, I’ll start out.

Kindness shines upon my route.

I can look for things to do

And make some plans for what comes true.

The Spirit always gives some clues

And then I need but follow through.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

It’s mid morning, yet day’s still young.

On this world, You have begun

To manifest Love’s plans, far-flung.

Paul Anderson

102:2.3 It is difficult to identify and analyze the factors of a religious experience, but it is not difficult to observe that such religious practitioners live and carry on as if already in the presence of the Eternal. Believers react to this temporal life as if immortality already were within their grasp. In the lives of such mortals there is a valid originality and a spontaneity of expression that forever segregate them from those of their fellows who have imbibed only the wisdom of the world. Religionists seem to live in effective emancipation from harrying haste and the painful stress of the vicissitudes inherent in the temporal currents of time; they exhibit a stabilization of personality and a tranquillity of character not explained by the laws of physiology, psychology, and sociology.

No Need To Leap

An early, early start today.

A busy morning lights my way.

So, with an early start I can,

Fulfill all of my life’s demands.

Goals/demands in life occur.

We try to live, not just endure.

To accomplish things while living,

Gives our lives a truer meaning.

Finding meaning in your life,

Helps to conquer, not just strive.

Meaning gives your life rewards.

We have something we work towards.

Finding what God wills for you,

Gives perspective, called what’s True.

Finding Truth, helps you perceive

More of what you can believe.

By little steps, we do advance.

We’re learning how to do life’s dance.

More and more, we come to show,

The Love of God in how we flow.

An equanimity of mind

With God’s Spirit’s what we find.

A way of living that defines

The Love that is of God’s design.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

The day has truly now begun.

We have appointments, yet to keep,

But time we have, no need to leap!

144:6.3 Andrew and Abner alternated in presiding over these joint meetings of the two apostolic groups. These men had many difficulties to discuss and numerous problems to solve. Again and again would they take their troubles to Jesus, only to hear him say: “I am concerned only with your personal and purely religious problems. I am the representative of the Father to the individual, not to the group. If you are in personal difficulty in your relations with God, come to me, and I will hear you and counsel you in the solution of your problem. But when you enter upon the co-ordination of divergent human interpretations of religious questions and upon the socialization of religion, you are destined to solve all such problems by your own decisions. Albeit, I am ever sympathetic and always interested, and when you arrive at your conclusions touching these matters of nonspiritual import, provided you are all agreed, then I pledge in advance my full approval and hearty co-operation. And now, in order to leave you unhampered in your deliberations, I am leaving you for two weeks. Be not anxious about me, for I will return to you. I will be about my Father’s business, for we have other realms besides this one.”

Meetings/Discussions/Conversations

Zoom meetings take up time today.

Outside, it’s raining, anyway.

I hope we have productive talks,

And our discussions help our flocks.

We represent the will of others,

And they are all our sisters/brothers.

We want what’s best for all concerned—

A process which we all will learn.

We will try to be involved,

So that issues get resolved.

If everybody wants what’s best,

Good ideas should pass this test.

Listening skills need be invoked,

And then with minds, we do devote,

Our energies in harmony.

Solutions then come, probably.

Sometimes a search is necessary.

There’re more questions we need query.

Time’s involved, to comprehend

All the details that impend.

I, with confidence, predict,

That our meeting will depict,

All the issues that portend,

Before our meeting comes to end.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

The day has now more than begun.

Lots to do on this fine day,

And with Your help, we’ll find our way.

44:7.2 Beauty, rhythm, and harmony are intellectually associated and spiritually akin. Truth, fact, and relationship are intellectually inseparable and associated with the philosophic concepts of beauty. Goodness, righteousness, and justice are philosophically interrelated and spiritually bound up together with living truth and divine beauty.

Rhythm and Time

The day, for me, begins again.

Work and play I need to blend.

A cloudy, cooler, rainy day.

Spring’s been cold for outside play.

In any case there’s things to do

And always God surprises you.

Adapting to what time presents

Is a skill, self maintenance.

No matter what time throws at you,

Things must be done on schedule too.

Timing with the Spirit’s rhythm

Helps in all aspects of livin’.

A time for this, a time for that.

Experience helps; God has your back.

Just always try to do your best

Then let God take care of the rest.

Surprise is always ‘round the corner.

The days will soon start to be warmer.

Soon the time for planting’s over.

Then we must dig weeds from clover.

We want to help our seedlings grow

They need the help of our good hoe.

We hoe the weeds and break the soil

So seedlings thrive, it’s worth the toil.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

The day begins, the work is fun.

We can always do some more

And more and more we open doors.

Paul Anderson
