Line 56: Line 56:  
Isaac: This is Isaac, Daniel.  Maybe the silence is because, well, I know in my case this is such a powerful meeting to have teacher Tomas with us as well as Gerdean, and to be thinking about the fact that we have been two years with you and all that that has meant.  So maybe that is why we are just sort of awestruck and quiet.  I personally want to welcome teacher Tomas and tell him, and I think this is true of all of us, that we are overjoyed to have him with us.  The possibilities of an additional teacher can't be imagined ahead of time, I don't believe, just as any group is greater than the sum of its members.  I am very excited about the future, despite my experience last night that you heard me report.  I want to thank Abraham for his comforting words also.

DANIEL:  So noted.  Friends, as you begin this new season, this new time with not only a new friend among us, but also with a rebirth of the Christmas messages, let us part this week, and in parting I wish to give each of you my love and my commitment to serving the Teaching Mission; that the work that Christ Michael has set in motion will find, through the individuals such as yourselves, acceptance; and through acceptance, growth.  I am ever thankful that the path that I have chosen has brought to me the ever- expanding knowledge of the First Source and Center.  If I could, I would love to give each of you but a glimpse of what I have ascertained, that which I know, for it would so revolutionize your lives!  But this is not the plan.  The plan is that you grow and you become.  May I also say that you should enjoy that becoming, despite its trials, for as you succeed through each trial do you become better able to grasp deeper and greater truth.

My love to you my friends.  Go now this week, that the love of the First Source and Center can encourage you and give you strength, that it will help you to set forth greater plans and greater goals, a greater willingness to say, 'Thy will be done'.  Good evening.
