    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans.
    Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy.
    Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter.
    Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw.
    You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

     

    Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
    Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
    Now, think.
    What delight God gives to humankind
    with all these things. . . .
    All nature is at the disposal of humankind.
    We are to work with it.

    For without we cannot survive.

    A Special Note from Cathy Bambanek 

    My mom passed away Friday from congestive heart failure.  

    Visitation is at 7:00PM-8 Tuesday, with a rosary at 8, more visitation until 9.  This is at Ted Dickey West on the George Bush Highway.

    A funeral mass will be said at 10:30  Wednesday at St. Marks on 15th Street.  There will be a luncheon afterwards at the church and all are welcome to attend.  Then the cemetary at 1:30.  

    I would love to have you come to any or all of them.

    If you would like to bring something to the house, we need beer, wine, and appetizers to serve to relatives coming from out of town.  They will only be here Tues and Wed, so we do not need a lot of food.

    My address is 2505 heather hill lane.

    Thanks to all of you for being great friends.  Please pray for my family at this stressful time.

     

    (Sorry, Cathy, I did not get this before publishing the Sunday blog.)

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Be the One

    Jesus, thank you for loving me so much.
    Help me to love others as you do.
    When someone is lonely, help me to be the one to be kind.
    When others are left out, help me to be the one to include them.
    When someone is sad, help me be the one to bring joy.
    Show me your face in every person I meet.
    Let me be the one to console You and my neighbor,
    with kindness, a smile, prayers and love.
    Give me courage to “be the one”
    who builds up the body of Christ today. Amen.
