Changes

When we view some of the [[elderly]] in your [[society]], they are without [[value]] because they are no longer needed or considered a productive part of [[the whole]]. If the people of [[Urantia]] knew how detrimental this was to their seniors, they would most definitely implement a new plan to put these valuable citizens back into productive positions. We can [[understand]] how some of the elderly become [[bitter]] in mind, frail in body and hopeless in [[attitude]]. Can you imaging the self-worth of these downcast [[individuals]]?

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alzheimer's_disease Alzheimer's disease] is not merely a physical aliment within the [[brain]], but almost an [[escape]] for those who no longer feel needed and productive. On the other end of that [[spectrum]], the seniors, who are still employed or volunteering or taking part in their [[family]] life, act with more [[energy]] than many of our young people today. They are at the end of life and still they are with a [[beautiful]] [[countenance]], a lively [[radiance]] and a smile that goes on forever.

We need not to serve out of spiritual [[obligation]], no. We need to serve because that is the [[energy]] that moves [[life]]. [[Service]] is the [[act]] and [[love]] is the [[consequence]]. We become more [[humbled]] in true service, not exalted because we show ourselves to be good and highly [[worthy]] of our fellows praise. Service becomes an [[honor]]--not a [[duty]]. It becomes a [[feeling]] that you stand side-by-side working with Father.

ABRAHAM: I [[appreciate]] the kind words of [[faith]] you have in me. Know that I would not make it my place to [[chastise]], nor judge you--any of you. I have lived the [[mortal]] life. I almost completely understand your [[experience]]. I would recommend a private meeting when possible. Is this acceptable? (Very. Thanks.) Another question?

CALVIN: How is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Winter_Olympics Olympic experience] on the [[celestial]] end going--all eyes on the hub of [[Urantia]] right here, as you told us? How is it looking from your side?

ABRAHAM: It is [[beautiful]]. We are amazed at [[the masses]] who chose [[support]] over [[fear]], who chose [[brotherhood]] over [[isolation]] and [[unity]] over [[separation]]. All lines of separation are being erased through these events. The mass lessons are being felt across [[the universe]]. There are those who look for personal gain and [[profit]] financially. There are those who have first looked for these Olympic games to gain [[prestige]] and recognition and now they are [[humbled]] and honored to serve in any capacity. It will be the [[hope]] of many that this goodwill will be felt throughout the coming years. Certainly is this [[collective]] lesson in Utah changing the somewhat introverted [[attitudes]] of the people. Yes. One more question.
