Dear Michael and Nebadonia, How wonderful it is to be starting a new year with this added confidence You have helped us to achieve - to be able to detect and feel Your presence in our lives day by day. So we thank You for the peace and love You have given us in experiencing deep rest and healing. We ask You to help us find the service we are now ready and able to do, to guide us to and help us take that next step in sharing our lives. Amen.

Michael: Good evening, My faithful sons. This is Michael. I bid you a hearty welcome as we start a new year on Urantia together. Yes, it is wonderful, your starting out again like this, in that root sense of full-of-wonder. For what is wonder? What is it that this word expresses in human experience? Certainly surprise is a part of this - suddenly coming upon something, or having something come upon you unexpectedly; something beyond your expectations and anticipations; something beyond your own imagination; something that reminds you, you are in a universe of God’s creation in your day to day lives - something so much larger than yourself. So wonder is very closely allied with feelings of humility, of feeling yourself to be tiny in the face of something enormous.

Tonight I would like to offer the insight that this is a continuing situation, designed by God himself, as the proper way in which to raise His children - to deliberately put them in a situation where they are surrounded by such an enormity of creation that they are stretched and teased and loved onto the spirit of adventure that can feed their souls. So it helps to keep in mind that this situation was deliberately created for you. What is your part to play? What can you do? Here, My children, is where you can allow yourself, and indeed, must allow yourself to be overwhelmed with wonder. I use the word overwhelmed because it suggests a certain reluctance you may have in holding this state of mind, this openness.

Rest awhile in My Peace, My sons. If you have any questions or comments, this bright new year full of hope and joyful anticipation, I am here for you.

Student: Father Michael, thank You for Your support and understanding, and for Your guidance. The question I have is: How can we get more people into this group? What can we do - just how to do it?

Student: Yes, I do.

Michael: It is not a platitude, but the truth: those who perished are in His hands now, and you cannot pretend to know the fear and the terror and the pain that they experienced. But I thank you for your question, for this touches on the most difficult aspects of life as it has been lived and will continue to be lived on the evolutionary planets that are God’s creation. So we have seen much this evening of wonder, and to wonder about. As I invited you to once before, do not hesitate to ask a question of spirit. Spirit is that which contains all else and unites all else. This is how you grow - by letting the wonder overwhelm you at times and give you a real appreciation of the blessings right within your own life.
