    Rosemary's Blessing: Oh God,

    Slow me down, Lord; I am going too Fast,

    I can't see my Brother as he goes past;

    I miss a lot of good things day by day,

    I don't know Blessings when they come my way.    

    Slow me down, Lord, so I can see 

    More of the things that are good for me;  

    A little less of me, a mile more of You 

    Let Heavenly Atmosphere trickle thru, 

    Let me help a Brother when the going's Rough, 

    When Folks work together, things aren't so Tough. 

    Slow me down, Lord, so that I can Talk 

    With more of Your Angels…Slow me down to a Walk

    For those who have wondered about where our food drives go, Ken explains:

    The food goes to the Network of Community Ministries which provides food, clothing, some limited financial assistance, and referrals, etc. to needy persons who live in the city of Richardson or the Richardson School District. We got started there because Cindy was volunteering there.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
    If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
    If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
    If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
    The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
    Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
    For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

    and help us to strive so that this same freedom

    may be experienced by everyone in our country,
