My Creed - quote by Howard Arnold Walter
“My Creed I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be friend of all- the foe, the friendless; I would be giving, and forget the gift. I would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up- and laugh- and love- and lift. ”
Love can last forever if you want it to by Susan Polis Schutz
Love is the strongest and
most fulfilling emotion possible
It lets you share
your goals, your desires, your experiences
It lets you share
your life with someone
It lets you be yourself
with someone who will always support you
It lets you speak
your innermost feelings to someone who understands you
It lets you feel tenderness and warmth -
a wholeness that avoids loneliness
Love lets you feel complete
But in order to have
a successful love relationship
you must make a strong commitment to each other and love
and you must do and feel everything within your mind and body
to make this commitment work
You must be happy with yourself
and you must understand yourself
before you can expect someone else
to be happy with you or to understand you
You must be honest about yourself and each other at all times
and not hold any feelings back
You must accept each other the way you are
and not try to change each other
You must be free to grow as individuals yet share your life as one
but not live your life through each other
You must follow your own principles and morals
and not follow what societal roles tell you to do
You must follow the philosophy that men and women are equal
and not treat either person with inferiority in any way
In order to have
a lasting love relationship
you must be together always in your heart
but not necessarily always in your activities
You must be proud of each other and love
and not be ashamed to show your sensitive feelings
You must treat every day spent with each other as special
and not take each other or your love for granted
You must spend time talking with each other every day
and not be too busy with outside events that you
are too tired for each other
You must understand each other's moods and feelings
and not hurt each other intentionally
but if your frustrations are taken out on each other
you must both realize that it is not a personal attack
You must be passionate with each other often
and not get into boring patterns
You must continue to have fun and excitement with each other
and not be afraid to try new things
You must always work at love and your love relationship
and not forget how important this relationship is or what
you would feel like without it
Love is the strongest
and most fulfilling emotion possible
If you live
your commitment to love
you will live your dreams
between awakenings

I'll love you forever
I do my thing
I do my thing
And you do your thing
I am not in this world to live up to
your expectations
And you are not in this world to live up to
mine
You are you and
I am I
And if by chance we find each other,
It's beautiful!
- Frederick J. Peril -
And you do your thing
I am not in this world to live up to
your expectations
And you are not in this world to live up to
mine
You are you and
I am I
And if by chance we find each other,
It's beautiful!

The Greatest Gift Song Lyrics - by Afterglow
The Greatest Gift
Words and Music by Afterglow
----------------------------------------
It happened oh so long ago,
In a time I can't recall;
But its spirit spans the years and comes to me.
A far greater thing than battles,
or when mighty kingdoms fall,
when a carpenter came out of Galilee.
----------------------------------------
He taught the people simply,
in a way to touch their souls;
He opened the eyes of men so they might see;
And the precious truths he taught them,
and the simple acts of love,
have come down to touch the hearts of you and me.
----------------------------------------
It's the greatest gift the world has known,
for the Savior to come down and guide us home.
A single heartfelt plea,
as he said, "Come follow me,"
He taught us all the way back home,
then lived it perfectly.
----------------------------------------
They took this man, this carpenter,
and nailed him to a tree,
and he suffered pain no mortal man could bear,
when he took upon him all our sins
in the place Gethsemane.
I hope someday to understand,
the perfect love he shared.
----------------------------------------
It's the greatest gift we'll ever see;
his sacrifice that someday we may be
together once again,
with our wise, Eternal Friend,
if we but meet out challenges
then strive on till the end.
----------------------------------------
It's the sweetest story ever told;
It means more to me then precious gems or gold,
Though the world may not believe,
it goes on eternally,
those ancient truths have been restored,
to set the people free.
----------------------------------------
Now I've got my chance to show him
the gratitude I feel,
and I'll go and spread the word to all I know.
With angels to uphold me,
and sacred truths revealed,
I'll share this testimony in my soul.
----------------------------------------
And the greatest gift that I can give,
is to show my brothers here the way to live.
With angels to uphold,
and these sacred things I hold.
I'll share this testimony from my soul.
I'll give to them the greatest gift I know.

Letter from a Friend - from Jesus
Dear Friend,
I just had to write to tell you how much I love you and care for you.
Yesterday, I saw you walking and laughing with your friends; I hoped that soon you'd want Me to walk along with you, too. So, I painted you a sunset to close your day and whispered a cool breeze to refresh you. I waited; you never called. I just kept on loving you.
As I watched you fall asleep last night, I wanted so much to touch you. I spilled moonlight onto your face trickling down your cheeks as so many tears have. You didn't even think of me; I wanted so much to comfort you.
The next day I exploded a brilliant sunrise into a glorious morning for you. But you woke up late and rushed off to work-you didn't evennotice.
My sky became cloudy and Mytears were the rain.
I love you! Oh, if you'd only listen. I really love you! I try to say it in the quiet of the green meadow and in the blue sky. The wind whispers My love throughout the treetops and spills it into the vibrant colors of the flowers.
I shout it to you in the thunder of the great waterfalls and composed love songs for birds to sing for you. I warm you with the clothing of My sunshine and perfume the air with nature's sweet scent.
My love for you is deeper than the ocean and greaterthan any need in your heart. If you'd only realize how I care. I died just for you. My Dad sends His love. I want you to meet Him. He cares, too. Fathers are just that way.
So please call Me soon. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait because I love you.
Your Friend,
Jesus

Blog Pickle - Daily Gem on Happiness
I get these automatic emails from http://www.lds.org containing a little quote called a "Daily Gem."
Here's the gem from today:
The Grand Key to Happiness in this Life
Posted: 07 Nov 2008 01:00 AM CST
"When Jesus gave His disciples a new commandment to 'love one another; as I have loved you' (John 13:34), He gave to them the grand key to happiness in this life and glory in the next."Love is the greatest of all the commandments--all others hang upon it. It is our focus as followers of the living Christ. It is the one trait that, if developed, will most improve our lives."
Joseph B Wirthlin, "The Great Commandment," Ensign, Nov. 2007, 30 31
