A Heartfelt Thanks

December 28, 2008

Dear Friends,

As 2008 draws to a close, I would like to end this year with an expression of gratitude . . . and a small gift.

First, I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who have emailed me with your kind comments over the past 12 months. I am thrilled that my weekly messages continue to be a source of inspiration for you, and that you took the time to tell me so.

Also, I want to offer a special thank you to everyone who has supported this labor of love with your donations and tithes. I am honored that many of you consider my work to be a true ministry—a cherished source of spiritual nourishment. It is your generous gifts and offerings that make this ongoing endeavor possible.

And now for my gift to you: As many of you know, I have been teaching the principles for living life in the divine flow since 1995. In 1998—a good three years before I began to write my book—I wrote a lyrical poem about the divine flow that I titled, “River of Life.”

Even though ten years have passed since then, I have never publicly published or posted this poem anywhere. As a small token of my appreciation, I offer it to you today as a bookmark that you can download and print out.

Naturally, this bookmark will work much better if you are able to print it out on heavyweight stock. And it will look much better if you use a photo-quality print setting.

To view and download your bookmark now, simply click on this link: www.rowrowrow.com/Bookmark.pdf.

If your computer cannot open a PDF file, you will also find my poem below.

Again, friends, I greatly appreciate your loving and enthusiastic support of my work. I am touched. I am blessed. And I look forward to serving you equally well in 2009.

Gratefully,

Steven

RIVER OF LIFE

Traveling down,
Turning corners round,
You're rowing down the river of life.

Gliding along,
Hear the river’s song,
You're rowing down the river of life.

Let go and feel the flow.
Make your plans, then let them go.
What you want is round the bend.
Use your oars, but let God lend
A helping hand.

Moving ahead,
No fear, no dread,
You're rowing down the river of life.

Now fast, now still,
Feel the flow of God's will,
You're rowing down the river of life.

Let go and feel the flow.
Do what you can, then let it go.
What you want is round the bend.
Use your oars, but let God lend
A helping hand.

Rowing downstream,
Heading toward your dream,
You're rowing down the river of life.
You're rowing down the river of your life.
