Rosemary’s Blessing

As Lazarus came forth alive from the tomb

May we too, come forth from the tombs which bind and hold us.

May we be filled with life and blessings

And may we share our lives and blessings with others.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

• Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings each morning, thank you, Lord, that I can hear.  There are those who are deaf.
• Even though I keep my eyes tightly closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank you Lord, that I can see.  There are many who are blind.
• Even though I huddle in my bed and put off the effort of rising, thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise.  There are many who are bedridden.
• Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, thank you, Lord for my family.  There are many who are lonely.
• Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in the magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced, thank you, Lord, for the food we have.  There are many who are hungry.
• Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous, thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work.  There are many who have no job.
• Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day, and wish my circumstances were not so modest, thank you , Lord, for the gift of life.
