"Love" by Helen Steiner Rice

Love is like magic,
And it always will be,
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
that love cannot change!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace!
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks-
Love is the language
That every heart speaks-
Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is a sweet mystery!

The Greatest Love Song Ever Written by Cheri' C. Carlson

Everywhere we turn, we hear
Dedicated songs of love.
But, the greatest ever written
Comes from up above ...
The sweetest music and perfect beat.
But, it's lyrics you'll not always hear.
It's often in sights and feelings
You'll be reminded He is near ...
A stranger's smile on a dark day,
A hawk up soaring high,
A call of a friend in need,
A sunset that makes you sigh ...
A baby's laugh, a happy tear,
Holding an elderly hand,
Every blade of grass and raindrop fall,
The sky, the sea, the land ...
A soft breeze on a summer's day,
Freshly fallen snow,
The scent of rain on a dusty road,
Watching children grow ...
The music of a songbird
Putting her little ones to bed,
The warm safe arms of one you love,
The sun upon your head.
It all speaks of love so pure,
Unconditional in it's giving.
Yet, often, we don't hear His song ~
So busy in our living.
Imagine creating a love song
For the dear ones in your life
And never having it listened to;
No one took the time.
Take the time to hear His song.
Feel the love the He sings.
Revel in it's sincere beauty
and all the joy it brings.

Close your eyes and hear the sounds.
Open them and see the sights.
Spread your arms and accept His tune;
The world in a brighter light.
If you listen openly to His song,
You will never be alone.
For, it's played from the day He creates you
Until He comes to take you home.
Of all the love songs ever done,
Vowing eternal love,
The one you can always count on
Comes from up above.

God's Love by Helen Johnson

In the loveliest gifts of nature
in the quiet hush of the early
morning dawn;
I feel your presence near me
and hear your voice in the night
winds' song.
It's you whom I can lean upon
who will gently lead me on this
path that I'm on.
For this life will soon pass and
one day will be gone,
While eternity flows quietly on!

I am holding your love here in
my heart
knowing that from me, you will
never depart!
I'll not feel the pangs of emptiness
but will wait with patience and
quietness!
Because you are always here
with me, I will never be left
all alone;
You have sheltered me from
the storms that come and
claimed me as your very own!
Lord, you've given me strength
to get through today;
My trust is in you each step
of the way!
I will follow where ever you lead
and to your precious voice I will
always heed!
As for Tomorrow it may never
arrive;
and it's your love which makes me
feel so alive!
It's you for whom I will strive
knowing that you will help me
survive!
One day up in glory I will
stand before your throne;
Because for me, all my sins
you atoned!
It was your precious blood
that was shed for me;
And your gift of salvation
has set me free!
My treasures are laid up
in heaven with thee;
For it's with you my Lord
I will one day spend eternity!
Oh what a glorious day that
will be;
When you appear in the clouds
and beckon to me!

YOU ARE THE REASON By Russell Kelfer

You are who you are for a reason.
You're part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design.
Called God's special woman or man.
You look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You're just what He wanted to make.
The parents you had were the ones He chose.
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind.
And they bear the Master's seal.
No, that trauma you faced was not easy.
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into His likeness you'd grow.
You are who you are for a reason,
You've been formed by the Master's rod.
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a God!

Success is speaking words of praise,
In cheering other people's ways ~
In doing just the best you can,
With every task and every plan.

It's silence when your speech would hurt,
Politeness when your neighbor's curt.
It's deafness when the scandal flows
And sympathy with others' woes.

It's loyalty when duty calls.
It's courage when disaster falls.
It's patience when the hours are long.
It's found in laughter and in song.

It's in the silent time of prayer,
In happiness and in despair.
In all of life and nothing less,
We find the thing we call success.

(copied from the "Inspiratinal Success Tips" blog [link above])
(The site is double-opt-in, so, what with spam filters, to insure that you receive the ezine, follow these 3 steps:)

1)PUT the return address: inspirasucestips@bellsouth.net
in your address book or list of approved senders. (procedures may differ depending on your service provider)

2)SEND a blank e-mail to: inspirationalsuccesstips@Freeautobot.com

3)Wait for the validation email (from the first address, with subject like "Please validate you subscripton to Inspirational Success Tips"), open it and CLICK ONCE on the long validation link (starting with http://www.freeautobot.com/...) toward the middle of the email.
You'll see a page that says you have successfully subscribed. You'll receive a more detailed welcome note right away and the first issue in a day. Normal delivery is every 2 weeks.

WHAT IF THE VALIDATION EMAIL DOESN'T ARRIVE? (SPAM FILTERS) (adapted)

Don't forget to add inspirasucestips@bellsouth.net to your email white-list (address book or list of approved senders, etc.). This should actually be done first before you send the subsribe email to inspirationalsuccesstips@Freeautobot.com.
ALSO: check your junk, bulk or spam folder.

If you don't receive the verification email, and don't have a whitelist, spam, junk, or bulk folder, then your email provider has probably deleted the verification email.
This is especially likely if you use AOL, Comcast or Excite. I've found these email providers to be especially poor in they way they handle spam-filtering.
You will need to get an email address from a reliable provider, if you want to subscribe to Inspirational Success Tips. I find that Yahoo mail works well.

Once you've got your Yahoo Mail account, join again using your new Yahoo email address.
(send a blank email from it to inspirationalsuccesstips@Freeautobot.com)
Then look for the validation email (from inspirasucestips@bellsouth.net"). If it's not in your in-box, check the Bulk mail folder.

If you still have problems, write me at inspirasucestips@bellsouth.net
I'll try deleting you and adding you again which will send another validation email.
