Rosemary's Blessing:

As a dog runs, barks, jumps, and dances

when its happy;

Oh God …

You run, bark, jump, and dance for love of us every day.

JSM is now streaming live thanks to the enormous efforts of Mike Moran.

From our Dearest Becky:

Legacy Preparatory Charter Academy is now your drop off point for needed medical supplies such as gloves and masks. We are also combining this with a food pantry drive.

If you feel the need to help during this special time and can bring any or all of these needed medical supplies and/or food donations, Legacy will get them to the appropriate sites.

Hours are between 8 am and 4 pm Monday – Fridays. Week end hours by appointment only for large donations.

Location: 601 Accent Dr., Plano 75075

Please share share share !

Also from Becky:

Legacy has just spent the last week preparing to be closed for probably the year and yet still have school. We are fortunate that the Texas Education Agency and the Commissioner of Education  has allowed educators to continue to be paid if we make an attempt to instruct children while they are home.

Not only at Legacy, but educators around the state have been doing just that. Many districts like us will be starting online school or giving out instructional packets on Monday. We also started our food program back early last week and on Tuesday handed out over 1000 meals in one day. Every Monday now families can come and receive 7 days worth of food for each child in the home. For many families, especially for the ones who has a parent or two who has been laid off, it’s making a tremendous difference.

I am proud of my leadership team and what they have accomplished in one week’s time. But you know what’s even better? Knowing that Legacy is not unique. You will continue to hear wonderful stories of what school districts around the state of Texas are doing to meet the needs of families through food support and low tech and high tech learning. It’s a great time to be proud of your public school system!

Rosemary's Blessing:

A Thanksgiving prayer from a Dear Abbey column:

“Father and Mother of all:

We give thanks for food and remember the hungry,

We give thanks for health and remember the sick,

We give thanks for friends and remember the friendless,

We give thanks for freedom and remember the enslaved.

May our giving thanks stir us to service, that our blessings may be shared with others. Amen.”

Mary reading from 2 Samuel.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

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.

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. 

Amazing how God works through laughter.
