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   

 

Oh God who created galaxies and worlds without number

Animals and plants, and microbes beyond count,

And tiny subatomic particles we can barely imagine,

Help us to be as bountiful and gracious to all those we meet this week as you have been to us.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

God,

Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

    and anyone that I have promised to pray for.

Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

    and anyone that cannot get along with me.

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

    and anyone that I have hurt.

Bless the person that I cannot forgive

    and anyone that cannot forgive me.

Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

    and to treat all I meet today with dignity.
