<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am so appreciative of your willingness each week to
bestow upon me the reigns to your meeting purpose. I would say this is our
meeting and your participation makes it possible. I am deeply touched to see how
close you’ve become over the years. Even through growing pains do you remain
dedicated to the overall Correcting Time purpose. Well
done.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">It
would seem in mortal life that all effort is for the most part put toward simply
staying afloat. It seems that environment has a great deal to do with where your
energy goes. For example, one who lives in a large city, surrounded by gray
buildings and neon light, might be more inclined to cling to material solutions
to difficulties, as opposed to one who has opportunity to spend time with nature
and have a quiet time for the mind and soul. Of course, this is all theoretical
and subject to change. Those who are encompassed by a busy life can find time to
set straight the scales of balanced living.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">It
would seem that imbalanced living or relying upon material solutions would tend
to make one insensitive to the simple realities of life. It seems that in over
populated areas there is somewhat of an innocence lost and more of a scrambling
to survive. This is the way of evolution. It’s not good or bad. When people know
better, they do better. I suppose my lesson this evening is about the riches of
everyday living. With your drive to survive or simply do the best that you can,
some things of soul value are brushed aside. This is where I refer back to my
theory of city living, versus those among a more peaceful
environment.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Individuals that have focused mostly on the doing of
life, instead of just being, have somewhat of a tough exterior. Strength is
good. We can see the many instances where the Master’s strength changed reality.
To be strong and confident is indeed an asset in this life. However, we need not
be so tough on the outside that we forget the simple riches of everyday living.
Let us ponder past experience and those events that have made us strong in
spirit versus tough in ego.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">What are the riches of everyday living? I have to admit
that experience in the flesh make it somewhat difficult to see that there is a
basic thread of good woven into the tapestry of all experience. How about acts
of kindness? Those are riches that feed the soul. Those are experiences that
carry us through the difficult times. How about the play and laughter of
children, how open they are to adventure and remind us that life is always
wondrous? Again, back to the goodness of nature itself, the wind in your hair or
the sun on your skin, the grass under your feet, the repetitive pattern from a
leaf on a tree to an insect? What are those things that open the door to the
spirit? How will awareness of appreciation for daily riches keep you alive with
hope and striving God-ward?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

smiling faces and light-hearted countenance. My love is always with you. Until
