Greetings this is JarEl your teacher. "The love of God enfolds us. The power of God protects us. The presence of God surrounds us. Wherever we are He is with us." He is with us to send forth His guidance, His protection, His love. He is with us during our prayer time. He is with us when we are distracted by the world, and by our earthly concerns. He walks with us, ever ready to guide us and comfort us. We need only to acknowledge His presence to be filled with joy and security. This is His gift. This is His generous offering to each and every one.

===Lesson===
 
I must say that I am amazed at the flexibility of this group. I must commend you on your ability to have consensus and cooperation without friction as you adjust your schedules to conform to your life styles, and always putting your commitment to this teaching mission as your first priority. It is often difficult for two people to come to an agreement, and this ability is to be applauded. Give yourselves credit for this seemingly effortless ability.

Let us pause and reflect on generosity, and then we will practice expressing impressions for our period of transmitting. Remember all are capable. Let us begin.

LUCILLE: (as T/R) This is Halonia. There are so many things to give. The Father gives you His love. Pass it on to others, with a smile. It doesn't have be in the form of monetary amounts. But a word of help. A word of encouragement. Acknowledge the other person as a son of God. Even expressing joy. Be optimistic in this world. in your help of others. This is a form of generosity.

JAREL: In conlflict there is a clashing of wills, and this tension must exist when a conflict emerges. You must be conscious of its existence and allow the expression of your sisters concerns to be exp[ressed without residtance. You may ask for your teachers of Jesus to come and be with you when next this situation occurs. Be conscioous of your part in this rfelationship that primarily your love for her is the paramount element 9n this commhunication. Practice and notice where this breaks down and what occrs at that point you will be amazed. Is this worth a try.

DONNA: I have a comment that occurs to me in regards to Stellas dilema with her friend. That the spiritual value of generosity and yet how somepeople seem to be unable to receive generosit, or do not seem to be open to it. There it occuirs to me that gift giving is a two-way process. There is the giver of the gift, the person who wants to give, and the other part is tehe recepticity of the receiver who need to be open to it. Theyt need to be willing to receive gift. Otherwise the gift giving process annot be completed. Some p[eople are not ready to receive, not prepared to receive, perhaps don't trust enought to receive. It is a two-way process. It then follows that we need to be ready to receive, as the gifts from the Father.

It then follows that we need to be ready to receive, as the gifts from the Father.

JAREL: This is very well put and well received and ddemonstrate the point that when the receiver is ready he will accept the gift. And yet the giver does not know what must occur to prepare the recipient to receive the gift. It is indeed a two-way street, and yet the recipiebnt of the gift must acccept or refuse. This is a concious choice. If you are no longer in a position to accept the transformation is halted. THere is no gift to receive ifd they have been withdrawn and no opportunity to later receive is not present and no longer is choice available to the receipient as the Father is working within him. Each dxecision is his own. Do you see this ?

DONNA: Yes indeed. I also wanted to comment on what Hal had said about the fact that as we make it our will to do the Fathers will and let that play out in our lifes, then we are given the fruits of the spirit, and I belkieve that generosity is one of the fruits of the spirit.

JAREL: Nothoing really ends or has a beginning. The opportunity for exprression will continue on the MOrontia worlds and therafter. This gift will be given in the future as it has been given in the past. Never feare if each has a solution to a p[roblem or an idea that seems practical in its appliocation you will have an oppotuntnty to demonstrate your theory an dpracticlalappliciyon in the future. Is it not amazing that the continuatiion of our ability should continue.

HAL: Jarel could you8 speak to thje attitude of the giver in generosity. The purpose of being gvenerous. Do we give for our benifit or for the benifit of the recipient. It would seem to me that if the recipient is not receptive to the gift maybe we are giving for the wrong reasons. Could you speak to this ?

JAREL: Yeas.m It wouold seem that we wold be acting for the recipient, and yet that is n ot true. All that we do is to enlighten our own being to participate in humanity. Top rise above our fdears. To reach the spiritual goal of the Father within us. To coperate fully with HIs plan for Light and Life. The by-product is that mankind is served by our kindness and generosity, and yet we are the ones that are glowing. Do you understand ?

MARLIES: Jarel, this is Marlies. Is it also possible that we as the givers, if we are having a situation that is in conflict with another person we wishiung to be generous may need to reevaluate our generosity. Sometimes I have found in my owncase that what I am willing to give and what ai wish to give is what aI feel the other person needds where as the other person may not feel the need for what I am giving. We are assuming something from the receiver that they may not wish to receive. Maybe we need to step back and reevaluate what we are doing.
