A Cosmic Parenting Manual
Submitted by Michelle Klimesh
It was the story of the Lucifer rebellion that saved
my life. When I found The Urantia Book in 1974, I
was
deeply depressed, and didn't want to live here any
more. I couldn't understand how to believe in a
God
that could create such a mess as I saw our world to
be.
I didn't understand the rules of being human,
couldn't understand why people valued things I
thought were useless, and why they ignored what
was obviously precious. I was in a lot of pain and I
just wanted
out.
Learning that our planet was screwed
up, that we had gone astray, that this wasn't God's
plan for us made perfect sense to me, and helped
me believe that God hadn't abandoned me.
The second most profound impact the revelation
made on the course of my life was learning how
Jesus raised his family. The idea that the creator of
Nebadon would set aside universe affairs to be a
good parent to his father's children made it crystal
clear to me that nothing I would ever do in my life
was as important as doing right by my children. My
beautiful daughters are grown now and I feel so
grateful that I had Jesus' example to light my
choices during those long years of motherhood.
