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 is 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 gives and forgives
There is nothing too much
For love to heal with its magic touch
Love is the language that every heart speaks
For love is the one thing that every heart seeks

To Love One Another
Father,
Help us love each other as we love ourselves. May the Holy Spirit, who has poured Your love into our hearts, give us Your selfless love, for our love falls far short of the mark. (Matthew 22:39; Romans 5:5)
May those who are married have Your perfect love especially for each other and their children. May every child be considered as Your reward, to be loved and nurtured and taught how to live lives that are obedient and pleasing to You. May we as a family be united in love. (Galatians 5:22a; Psalm 127:3; Ephesians 6:4b; 1 John 3:21–22; Colossians 2:2a)
May we submit ourselves to one another—considering others more important than ourselves, putting the others' interests ahead of our own. Help us to treat each other the way we would want to be treated in every circumstance. (Ephesians 5:21; Philippians 2:3b–4; Matthew 7:12)
May our relationships be built on these principles—for if they are, what could ever come between us? You always know what's best!
In Jesus' name, amen.


Sweet Blessings,
Virginia
