===Opening===
 
Prayers: Donna: Dear Heavenly Father thank you for our gathering here tonight. We love our spiritual brothers and sisters and we love you. We love this opportunity to listen to the teachers and to hear what they have to tell us and what they have to teach us. Please open our hearts and minds to receive that which you would have us receive, in Michael’s name we pray, amen.

JarEl: TR, Henry Z. Greetings to you my friends, it is I, your teacher, JarEl. It is good to be here this evening, to come to you through a familiar voice. Tonight let us give thanks. There is much to be thankful for. Tonight I am not interested in the listing of thanks as I am in the human heart aspects of thanks as a way of worship and ministry. The whole world would open on a note of thanks. Hearts would mend all over the world with a word of thanks.

===Lesson===
 
It is important in a spiritual context to recognize all the small crumbs of real effort everyone puts out in their daily lives just to complete their daily human tasks; their inter-association with their families, their loved ones, their work, their business; thanks that everyone takes for granted. Something many forget to acknowledge in search for more dramatic praise and dramatic raise (?) and all the while the daily rudimental mechanism of life gets trudged on and worn down to peat gravel, sand-sized particles of spiritual reality. It is easy in the human arena to criticize behavior and to judge a person unworthy by their behavior, but in the spiritual arena it is much more important to recognize, not so much the blundering errors of behavior, as it is the small manipulative steps of behavior, the daily unnoticed things that people do; unspoken; unheeded.

There are so many unconscious souls around you who are waiting to be touched, just quite simply touched; acknowledged "How are you doing today - God truly does love you, no matter what you have done or will continue to do. Yes, he will help you if you are only willing to show the least amount of effort yourself and he has already forgiven you. When are you going to forgive yourself?" There are many, many sleeping survivors….many of them were still young. The ground on Urantia is some of the most fertile ground in the Universe of Nebadon. Go out and plant some seeds and give thanks to God. God is good, God is great and God is everywhere. Thank you for allowing me to present these thoughts to you tonight. Are there any questions?
