Sunday Announcements, February 3

Rosemary’s Blessing:

May there always be work for your hands to do.  May your purse always hold a coin or two.  May the sun always shine on your windowpane.  May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.  May the hand of a friend always be near you.  May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

    Isaiah 35:  Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared; then will the lame leap like a stag, then the tongue of the mute will sing.
    James 5:  
    You too must be patient.  Make your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord is at hand.
    Matthew 11:  
    Jesus said to them in reply,  “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
    I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey …

    I asked for health, that I might do great things.
    I was given infirmity, that I might do better things …

    I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
    I was given poverty, that I might be wise …

    I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
    I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God …

    I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
    I was given life, that I might enjoy all things …

    I got nothing I asked for—but everything I had hoped for.
    Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

    I am, among men, most richly blessed”

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    To laugh often and much;
    To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
    To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
    To appreciate beauty;
    To find the best in others;
    To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
    To know even one life has breathed easier because you lived.
    This is to have succeeded.

    Success – Ralph Waldo Emerson
