Rosemary's Blessing

May God grant you the strength and faith to

Count your blessings, not your crosses;
Count your gains not your losses.
Count your joys not your woes;
Count your friends not your foes.
Count your smiles not your tears;
Count your courage not your fears.
Count your health not your wealth;
And love your neighbor as much as yourself.

Advent Celebrations already: this is way early, but two of my favorite performances are already scheduled for December, and tickets will go quickly.  As in past years, if you would like to join Rosemary & me, give me your name and the number of tickets you want.  We’ll have our usual evening of wine & cheese before each performance.

 

 1.  December 3, Friday, 8:00 P.M.: Dallas Symphony Pops Christmas concert (special for kids) at the Meyerson.  Tickets in the Choral Terrace (behind & above the stage & orchestra), $33.00.

 

  2.  December 14, Tuesday, 8:00 P.M.: Dallas Symphony Christmas Pageant (a platinum event) at the Meyerson. Tickets on the Orchestra Floor (like last year) $55.00.

 

I will place our orders by September 16 or 17.  Welcome to one or both wonderful evenings.

Rosemary's Blessing

Loving Father,

often we forget your gifts to us,

letting them pass unnoticed through each day.

Show us how to look again, to see through your eyes

and give freely in response to what we see.

Amen

Lord,

May we never take our freedom for granted

and help us to strive so that this same freedom

may be experienced by everyone in our country,

especially the poor and the oppressed,

and eventually by all humankind.
