Line 29: Line 29:     
The final quality of Fatherhood I'd like to pause for a moment to appreciate, is the nature of God that envelops even those rebellious sons and adventurous youth who would turn their back on His plans and dreams for the sons' best interests, and who does not alienate Himself, but holds himself open to receive his wayward offspring and embrace them even before they think to return home to his bosom. How forgiving the Father seems from our perspective, but from the divine point of view, the lost sheep are simply that - and thus he sends those of us who will, into the field to aid the Good Shepherd in finding the lost sheep, in embracing them back into the fold of the Father's love and the Mother's family.

Happy Father's Day to all of you. Let us all lift our voice in praise and thanksgiving of the Father of all who has created such a wondrous universe that we might experience life and share the creative nature with Him.

Indeed, He has prepared a feast for us today! I behold your personality presence in this configuration and yearn to reach out to touch you all as the Father has and come to know you better. In this way our family is embellished and emboldened to go forth in confidence of our kinship in spirit reality. How are you all this afternoon? How can we engage one another in communication and communion to the greater delight of us all?

ELENA: Tomas, you know me. I usually am the first one to pipe up. I just wanted to make sure that you were introduced to some new people who are here, and I'll just go from my right, around, but I wanted to introduce Carrie and Aaron. I wanted to welcome them and I'm just so glad that they're here. Of course, you remember Emily. And then Barrie and Rianna. I wanted to welcome them to the group, too. So… mother usually does that but she's not here so I thought I'd do the honors of that. So I hope Carl and Janet don't mind me doing that, but I wanted to introduce them to you and to welcome them.
