Rosemary's Blessing:  O God,

• when I have Food, help me to remember the Hungry;
• when I have Work, help me to remember the Jobless;
• when I have a Home, help me to remember those who have no Home at all;
• when I am without Pain, help me remember those who Suffer,

And remembering,

• help me to destroy my Complacency;

Rosemary's Blessing: Oh God,

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

Good News from Mexico: I talked with Karina Saturday night and she says she has set up her little pharmacy in Cuernavaca and it is going well. Unfortunately, a couple of days ago she fell in the street and broke her polio brace. Her mother, Maria Luisa, whose cancer seems to be in remission, has worked the pharmacy while Karina stayed home to recuperate. Monday she hopes to return to work. Our seed money seems to be bearing fruit.

Rosemary's Blessing:   

Dear Lord, please give me

 A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,
     without which the world would be the poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

A sense of humor;

Time for quiet, silent meditation;  

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

Amen.

Outreach:     $ 360.00

 We donated this week: 

1. $700 for Karina in Mexico.  This includes donations targeted especially for Karina in Cuernavaca, Mexico.  I will take this to her Jan. 28, when I visit Mexico to see how she is doing after the death of her mother recently.  She had panicked a bit, especially that she might get thrown out of her little garage.  She is the woman who had polio as a young girl and is crippled.  We have supported the two of them for over 20 years.
