Rosemary's Blessing

Dear Lord, please give me

 A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,
     without which the world would be the poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

A sense of humor;

Time for quiet, silent meditation;

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

Amen.

Gracious God, slow my pace and soften my heart this Christmas,

Keep me from rushing through the season, but missing the Way …

From decorating the tree, but missing the Light …
