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    

 May you live a long life full of gladness and health,
With a pocket full of gold as the least of your wealth.

May the dreams you hold dearest be those which come true,
The kindness you spread keep returning to you.

May the friendships you make be those which endure,
And all of your grey clouds be small ones for sure.

And trusting in Him to Whom we all pray,
May a song fill your heart every step of the way.

Grace E. Easley

Congratulations, Bethany.  This is for you and the little one coming, so he knows what good things await him.

 
Rosemary's Blessing: 

May you find truth in the week’s smallest grace,

And hope in the week’s heaviest cross.

May you learn to walk a little bit slowly

And to grow each day in hope and trust.

And may the God of new beginnings

Grant you a week of love and peace.
