Many of us know how it feels to be
rejected, not to be wanted and not to be
loved enough. And many of us stay on
guard, protecting our hearts and missing
the greatest gift of all because we are
sitting on the fence of feelings.

What does it feel like to be loved? And
how do you know if a person really loves
you or not?

Below are 15 signals that will help you
decide if the man or woman you are
attracted to -- or are with -- loves you
or not.

1. He/she shows interest in your life -
asks about your day, family, friends and
work; remembers whatever say and do etc.;

2. He/she knows exactly what makes you
smile, feel special and taken care of;

3. He/she is very affectionate,
attentive, sensitive, considerate and
cares about your needs, wants and desires;

4. He/she calls you just because he/she
was thinking about you, misses you, or
just felt like it etc.;

5. He/she wants to spend as much with
you as is possible - clears up his/her
busy schedule and makes plans just for
you, travels long distances just to be
with you etc.;

6. He/she talks to you about things
he/she doesn't talk about with anybody else;

7. He/she walks that special extra mile
just for you - shares your interests
even if he/she doesn't like what you
like, puts aside what they could be
doing just to talk, listen or do
something for you instead etc.;

8. He/she tells you how wonderful you
make him/her feel and how having you in
his/her life enriches it;

9. He/she does small unexpected things
to pleasantly surprise you- sends an
email message, shows up at your
workplace, gets you something you always
wanted etc.;

10. He/she loves and enjoys being
physically close to you;

11. He/she takes time to choose his/her
gifts for you - regardless of the price tag;

12. He/she gives without being asked and
accepts from you with gratitude;

13. He/she wants a future with you in it
talks about it and plans for it;

14. He/she tells you he/she loves you;

15. You just know it no doubting, no
questioning, no wondering, no convincing
or trying to make him/her love you and
no strings attached. You look into
his/her eyes and you know it. Something
inside of you just knows.

Three little words can make a difference in one's life. There are many things that we can do to perk up and strengthen our interpersonal relationships. Yet the most effective involves the saying of just three words.

When spoken or conveyed, these statements have the power to forge new friendships, deepen old ones and restore relationships that have cooled. The following three-word phrases can enrich every relationship.

I'll Be There:
If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from home, you will know how good it feelsto hear the phrase "I'll be there." Being there for another person isthe greatest gift we can give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and us. We are renewed in loveand friendship. We are restored emotionally and spiritually. Beingthere is at the very core of civility.

I Miss You:
Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely said to each other "I miss you." This powerful affirmation tells partners they are wanted, needed,desired and loved. Consider how ecstatic you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from your spouse in the middle ofyour workday, just to say "I miss you."

I Respect You:
Respect is another way of showing love. Respect conveys the feeling that another person is a true equal. If you talk toyour children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds and become close friends. This applies to all inter-personal relationships.

Maybe You're Right: This phrase is highly effective in diffusing anargument and restoring frayed emotions. The flip side to "maybe yourright" is the humility  of admitting, "Maybe I'm wrong". Let's face it.When you have a heated argument with someone, all you do is cement theother person's point of view. They, or you, will not change their stance and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship between you. Saying "maybe you're right" can open the door to furtherexplore the subject, in which you may then have the opportunity to getyour view across in a more rational manner.

Please Forgive Me:
Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults, follies and failures.A man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been in the wrong,which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he wasyesterday.

I Thank You:
Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the companionship of good, close friends are those who don'ttake daily courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many ex-pressions of kindness. On the other hand,people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do nothave the attitude of gratitude.

Count On Me:
A friend is one who walks in when others walk out.Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship; it is the emotional glue that bonds people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true friends. When troubles come, agood friend is there indicating you can "count on me."

Let Me Help:
The best of friends see a need and try to fill it.When they spot a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without beingasked, they pitch in and help.

I Understand You:
People become closer and enjoy each other more if they feel the other person accepts and understands them. Letting your spouse know in so many little ways that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship. This applies to any relationship.

I Love You:
Perhaps the most important three words that you cansay. Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest emotional needs; the need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your family, your friends and you, all need to hear those three little words. "I love you."

There was a student who was desirous of taking admission for a study course.

He was smart enough to get through the written test, a GD and was to appear for the personal interview. Later, as the interview progressed, the interviewer found this boy to be bright since he could answer Althea questions correctly. The interviewer got impatient and decided to corner the boy.

"Tell me your choice," said he to the boy," What's your choice: I shall either ask you ten easy questions or ONE real difficult. Think well before you make up your mind."

The boy thought for a while and said, "My choice is ONE real difficult question."

"Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!" said the man on the opposite side. "Tell me: What comes first, Day or Night?"

The boy was jolted first but he waited for a while and said: "It's the DAY, sir."

"How?" the interviewer was smiling ("At last, I got you!" he said to himself.)

"Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!"

Admission for the course was thus secured. 

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead. — Bertrand Russell

Christ's Beatitudes

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
