To Believe...

To believe is to know that every day
is a new beginning.
It is to trust that miracles happen,
and dreams really do come true.
To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,
To know the wonder of a stardust sky
and the wisdom of the man in the moon.
To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,
The innocence of a child's eyes
and the beauty of an aging hand,
for it is through their teachings we learn to love.
To believe is to find the strength
and courage that lies within us.
When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.
To believe is to know we are not alone,
That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.
To believe is to know that wonderful surprises
are just waiting to happen,
And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.
If only we believe.

Be Someone

Be someone who listens, and you will be heard.
Be someone who cares, and you will be loved.
Be someone who gives, and you will be blessed.
Be someone who comforts, and you will know peace.

Be someone who genuinely seeks to understand, and you will be wise.
Be someone kind, someone considerate, and you will be admired.
Be someone who values truth, and you will be respected.
Be someone who takes action, and you will move life forward.

Be someone who lifts others higher, and your life will be rich.
Be someone filled with gratitude,
and there will be no end to the things for which you'll be thankful.

Be someone who lives with joy, with purpose,
as your own light brightly shines.
Be, in every moment, the special someone you
are truly meant to be.

-- Ralph Marston

A Word About this Booklet

It seems to me that the events of recent years have turned many of us into worriers. We worry about future calamities and dangers. We worry about our children, our communities and our nation. Sometimes we even worry that there might be worries we haven't thought of yet.
The answer to our quandary is simple: "Depend on the Lord, trust in him, and he will take care of you." (Psalm 37:5) Throughout the ages, those who have trusted in the Lord have prevailed.
Norman Vincent Peale was fond of saying: "Thank God for your problems, rejoice in them, for you are never more alive than when, with God's help, you call on your creative power to solve them." Trusting in God to be with you as you meet the challenges of our times is your foundation for creating a secure future for you and your loved one. Remember: God has created you in his image, and his power is within you. This concept was the core of Norman Vincent Peale's optimism and his confidence in the future. Trust that God has given you the power to meet the challenges of our times, and you will find peace.
You'll hear more from Dr. Peale in the pages that follow—timeless wisdom for the ages, and especially our age.

God bless you.
