Rosemary's Blessing:                                  

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 . . .

from wrapping the gifts, but missing the Gift.

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week    

     

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference
    in this world, in your neighborhood,
    so that you will courageously try
    what you don't think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.

    Rosemary's Blessing

    This Christmas

    let us make visible God's love,

    forgiveness, compassion and generosity

    in our thoughts, words and actions. 

    Like the Shepherds and Kings,

    let us be courageous and find God in the different and the stranger. 

    Let us let go of grudges and hurts. Let us be strong yet gentle.  

    Let us give thanks for God’s gifts of love we find in our family, friends and earth, our common home.

    Today, in the New year, and in all the days of our lives
