122:6.3 In later years, as the family grew in size, they would all squat about the enlarged stone table to enjoy their meals, helping themselves from a common dish, or pot, of food. During the winter, at the evening meal the table would be lighted by a small, flat clay lamp, which was filled with olive oil. After the birth of Martha, Joseph built an addition to this house, a large room, which was used as a carpenter shop during the day and as a sleeping room at night.

Winter Comes

In the 40s for today

You’ll need a jacket on your way.

A cooler day than what we’ve had.

Winter’s coming don’t be sad.

It’s a cycle we go through.

Every year our world turns blue.

Blue with cold and snow that blows.

The winter comes before it goes.

Our experience helps God live.

He lives through us, that’s how we give.

Do your best that’s what God wants.

He loves to see your eloquence.

Live a life for God while you

Do the best that you can do.

Be sincere and keep your faith.

God will show you how with grace.

Grace can help you to achieve

Success in life before you leave.

A graceful life helps love advance

Love’s the answer, learn its dance.

So learn to love the winter weather.

Without the winter springs don’t matter.

To love the worst along with the best

Advances love, helps love’s conquest.

Thank You, Father, to love is best.

And with Your Love, this earth is blessed!

Time it takes, but we’ll achieve

A blessed sphere, as we believe!

65:7.6 The acquisition of the potential of the ability to learn from experience marks the beginning of the functioning of the adjutant spirits, and they function from the lowliest minds of primitive and invisible existences up to the highest types in the evolutionary scale of human beings. They are the source and pattern for the otherwise more or less mysterious behavior and incompletely understood quick reactions of mind to the material environment. Long must these faithful and always dependable influences carry forward their preliminary ministry before the animal mind attains the human levels of spirit receptivity.

Learning The Spirit

A sunny day but in the 50s.

The weather is really pretty nifty.

The cooler temps do stimulate.

There’re things to do we contemplate.

Planning helps with things we do.

An action plan helps us pull through.

Planning helps the coming day.

It truly helps to plan your play.

Practice also helps us be.

It helps us see reality.

To practice what you want to do,

Helps perfect what is your truth.

Decide how you can help your God.

Cooperate and you’ll evolve.

God within will show the way.

Keep the faith when things seem gray.

Never lose your faith in God.

He’s with you on the paths you trod.

God will help when all seems lost.

Discover how their hearts defrost.

As we evolve, we will become

More like the God, we learn to strum

And play His music as we live.

The loving notes are His to give.

Thank You, Father, for Your notes.

I’ll spend some time, yes I’ll devote

Time and energy to Your cause.

I wish to learn Your Spirit laws.

110:2.1 When Thought Adjusters indwell human minds, they bring with them the model careers, the ideal lives, as determined and foreordained by themselves and the Personalized Adjusters of Divinington, which have been certified by the Personalized Adjuster of Urantia. Thus they begin work with a definite and predetermined plan for the intellectual and spiritual development of their human subjects, but it is not incumbent upon any human being to accept this plan. You are all subjects of predestination, but it is not foreordained that you must accept this divine predestination; you are at full liberty to reject any part or all of the Thought Adjusters’ program. It is their mission to effect such mind changes and to make such spiritual adjustments as you may willingly and intelligently authorize, to the end that they may gain more influence over the personality directionization; but under no circumstances do these divine Monitors ever take advantage of you or in any way arbitrarily influence you in your choices and decisions. The Adjusters respect your sovereignty of personality; they are always subservient to your will.

Direction

A sunny day is what’s predicted.

When the sun is out our temps are lifted.

The sun can lift our joys to heaven.

It seems to brighten our impressions.

A sunny day will lift our Spirits.

The sounds of life around us, hear it!

Our motivation to get things done

Increases, we perceive it's fun.

Your best is done, Love what you do.

You’ll find the Love comes back to you.

When always trying for your best

You win or lose but pass the test.

Learning from what doesn’t work

Gives wisdom even to a jerk.

Given time all jerks improve.

You’re not a jerk when in Love’s groove.

Love requires a new compassion.

Sincerity requires your passion.

An energy to find a way

To help this world, find Love that stays.

Spread some love out in your world.

The flag of God should be unfurled.

One God, one world

Too many nations we behold.

Thank You, Father, for your Love.

In Love’s direction we evolve.

As we do, we will achieve

Peace on earth, I do believe!

146:2.15 Jesus warned his followers against thinking that their prayers would be rendered more efficacious by ornate repetitions, eloquent phraseology, fasting, penance, or sacrifices. But he did exhort his believers to employ prayer as a means of leading up through thanksgiving to true worship. Jesus deplored that so little of the spirit of thanksgiving was to be found in the prayers and worship of his followers. He quoted from the Scriptures on this occasion, saying: “It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord and to sing praises to the name of the Most High, to acknowledge his loving-kindness every morning and his faithfulness every night, for God has made me glad through his work. In everything I will give thanks according to the will of God.”

Thanksgiving

Another day where 60’s rule.

Tomorrow’s weather will be cool.

Heading towards Thanksgiving Day.

It is just a week away.

It’s been spectacular, this Fall season.

Temps have been much more than decent.

Not too many storms are here.

They didn’t touch us much this year.

As we march towards Holiday cheer,

We contact all those we hold dear.

We plan to see them very soon.

Relationships on hold, resume.

Families come from far away.

They come together for Holidays.

We resume where we left off.

We find our families are not lost.

Every day we should give thanks.

As we live, we may have angst.

But we’re alive, and we enjoy

All the things that life employs.

So yes, I give my thanks to God.

I look to Him, to help me solve

All the problems of our days.

Love’s construction paves our way.

Thank You, Lord, please help me be

A focus of reality.

And help us all to understand

The wisdom of Your loving plan.

107:5.2 Since Adjusters can plan, work, and love, they must have powers of selfhood which are commensurate with mind. They are possessed of unlimited ability to communicate with each other, that is, all forms of Monitors above the first or virgin groups. As to the nature and purport of their intercommunications, we can reveal very little, for we do not know. And we further know that they must be minded in some manner else they could never be personalized.
Go With God
A cooler day, but not a freeze.
A day to rake some golden leaves.
Pile them up in mounds and hills.
Them bag them up so they don’t spill.

Uncover ground, uncover green,
Then seed the ground with summer dreams.
Flowers grow from tiny seeds.
Give them a chance against the weeds.

Plan ahead, then do the work.
If you don’t know, then read a book.
Experts can be found with wisdom.
Believe with Faith, and use good reason.

Thinking does require some effort.
As you think, become more expert.
Your mind’s a tool, so use it well.
Remember, God there does indwell.

Let God adjust what e’er you see.
Use Faith and Trust, and you will be
A tool for God’s reality.
You will gain more, as God decrees.

We all must face our given plights.
We all are given certain rights.
Life’s a battle, it’s a fight.
Let God be with you on this hike.

Thank You, Father, for being there.
The path ahead I’m going to share.
Life becomes much more a joy
As all Your Love I do deploy.

61:7.11 100,000 years ago, during the retreat of the last glacier, the vast polar ice sheets began to form, and the center of ice accumulation moved considerably northward. And as long as the polar regions continue to be covered with ice, it is hardly possible for another glacial age to occur, regardless of future land elevations or modification of ocean currents.

World Change
The warmest year we’ve ever had.
With less winter, it’s not bad.
Stronger storms, I guess there’ll be.
A warming trend is what we see.

Naysayers helped us all deny
When there were ways that we could try.
When all the ice melts on this earth
We’ll see how much we are immersed.

If all the ice melts at the poles
Another ice age may unfold.
The world will balance what’s been done.
If ice comes back, will that be fun?

The future is not known by me
And yet it comes relentlessly.
Every day that I wake up
Another chance, my Faith erupts.

Gods in charge, thank God for that.
He’ll help us all face all the facts.
If you think you know it all
Prepare to change, please hear God’s call.

Constant change we all must face.
Resilient, yes, this human race.
Altogether we can win.
We will combine, it’s in the wind.

Thank You, Father, future times
Will come as You have Truth designed.
I pray all souls look deep inside
And find Your Love, it won’t divide!

2:6.3 The "richness of the goodness of God leads erring man to repentance." "Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights." "God is good; he is the eternal refuge of the souls of men." "The Lord God is merciful and gracious. He is long-suffering and abundant in goodness and truth." "Taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who trusts him." "The Lord is gracious and full of compassion. He is the God of salvation." "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up the wounds of the soul. He is man's all-powerful benefactor."

God is Good
Late to write, I am today.
But lots I’ve done upon my way.
Laundry and some boiled eggs
Organized the things I’ve spread.

Variety of many days
Routines exist so we can play.
Much is done, yet much to do.
Each day is different, Your love comes through.

Have Faith in acts that you are doing.
Inside your soul keeps on renewing.
God is building with His Hand.
God builds souls up out of sand.

He makes them tough like granite rock.
He fills them up, He fills all cups.
He designs the way you are.
He plans to make a shining star.

Cooperate, use all your Faith.
Someday you’re going to see God’s Face.
His Spirit you contain within.
He wants to help you become Him.

He’ll help you each and every step.
He’s going to plumb your very depths.
He builds and strengthens up our cores.
Someday He’ll end all of these wars.

Thank You, Father, deep within.
What You build is genuine.
Help this world be as it should.
I’ll spread the news that God is Good!

92:5.16 The future of Urantia will doubtless be characterized by the appearance of teachers of religious truth – the Fatherhood of God and the fraternity of all creatures. But it is to be hoped that the ardent and sincere efforts of these future prophets will be directed less toward the strengthening of interreligious barriers and more toward the augmentation of the religious brotherhood of spiritual worship among the many followers of the differing intellectual theologies which so characterize Urantia of Satania.

One God

Snow is on the ground today.

It will melt and go away.

This month contains a holiday.

Thanksgiving colors we’ll display.

The holiday season is approaching.

Winter weather is encroaching.

It happens this way every year.

The holidays should bring good cheer!

We all have different holidays.

We celebrate in different ways.

Pagan rituals of the harvest

Still remain, we’re of the forest.

We all went our separate paths

With different leaders from the past.

One God unites us in the end.

The God of Love, His Arms extend.

We’re on one World, we have one God.

He plays no favorites with our mobs.

Wars reflect what we believe.

No wars at all, Love does decree!

No matter what, all war is wrong.

To smite your brother, your weak not strong.

You show your weakness in war’s song.

Believe in Love, Faith makes you strong.

Thank You, Father, we must choose

How we live on this life cruise.

To live for war and seek revenge

Will not advance us in the end.

103:1.1 The unity of religious experience among a social or racial group derives from the identical nature of the God fragment indwelling the individual. It is this divine in man that gives origin to his unselfish interest in the welfare of other men. But since personality is unique – no two mortals being alike – it inevitably follows that no two human beings can similarly interpret the leadings and urges of the spirit of divinity which lives within their minds. A group of mortals can experience spiritual unity, but they can never attain philosophic uniformity. And this diversity of the interpretation of religious thought and experience is shown by the fact that twentieth-century theologians and philosophers have formulated upward of five hundred different definitions of religion. In reality, every human being defines religion in the terms of his own experiential interpretation of the divine impulses emanating from the God spirit that indwells him, and therefore must such an interpretation be unique and wholly different from the religious philosophy of all other human beings.

Unite Us
Rainy, gloomy days don’t shake,
Faith I have, this day I’ll make
Warm and rosy, and I’ll stake
All I have, Love’s no mistake!

I hope you catch the drift above.
No matter what, we have to solve
Social problems that exist.
While everybody shakes their fists.

Everybody thinks they know
All the facts – the way to go.
And yet, we do not look inside.
Our inside’s blocked by too much pride.

On our knees, please every day.
And when we’re there, we need to pray!
We need to find new ways to heal!
Disparities we need not wield!

Can we agree on life and light?
We truly know we should not fight.
To get to where we need to go
Love’s the answer, God’s no show!

If we would motivate ourselves
And truly be God’s chosen elves,
Only do what Love dictates,
A Spirit World, God would remake!

Thank You, Father, someday we will
Unite this world as Love instills
Harmonies within our souls.
We truly have united goals.
