Rosemary's Blessing: Creator of the World and Each of Us,

Help Me to See the Beauty with which You have Surrounded Me,

The Colors, the Shades, the Lights, the Shadows, the Shapes, the Patterns,

All the Dazzling Array of Enchantments of the Eye to which I usually pay so little attention.

Help me to realize that I live in a Many Splendored Land and

To Enjoy the Splendors which You have given Me.

Isaiah 42:  Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased, upon whom I have put my spirit;
Acts of the Apostles 10: Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered
in the house of Cornelius, saying:  “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.
Matthew 3: After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Lord, let this year be filled with the things that are truly good—with the comfort of warmth in our relationships, with the strength to help those who need our help and the humility and openness to accept help from others.
As we make our resolutions for the year ahead, let us go forward with great hope that all things can be possible—with Your help and guidance.”

Rosemary's Blessing: 

 Thanksgiving is here.

As we celebrate this special day with family and friends,

May we be grateful for the roads we have taken in life,

The marvels, the beauty, and the people we have met along the way,

Rosemary's Blessing:  Dear  Lord,

Give me a few Friends who will Love Me for what I am,

And keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly Light of Hope…

And though I come not within sight of the Castle of my Dreams,

Teach me to be Thankful for Life, and for time’s Olden Memories that are good and sweet.

And may the Evening’s Twilight find me Gentle still.
