    True? 

    Six Facts of Life

    1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so when they grow up they will know the value of things, not the price.
    2. Best wise words: "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food."
    3. The one who loves you will never leave you because, even if there are 100 reasons to give up, he or she will find one reason to hold on.
    4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few folks really understand that.
    5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage!
    6. If you just want to walk fast, walk alone; but, if you want to walk far, walk together!

    Acts of the Apostles 6:  The word of God continued to spread, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly, …

    1 Peter 2:  You are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises" of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

    John 14:  " … Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father."

    Rosemary's Blessing:

     

    …and life is still a constant surprise to me.  We never know what will happen next, what we will see, and what important person will come into our life, or what important person we will lose.  Life is change, constant change, and unless we are lucky enough to find comedy in it, change is nearly always drama, if not tragedy.  But after everything, and even when the skies turn scarlet and threatening, I still believe that if we are lucky enough to be alive, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed.  And we must have faith in God, and in the Universe, and in a better tomorrow even if that faith is not always deserved.

    Gethsemane
    by Mary Oliver


    The grass never sleeps.
    Or the roses.
    Nor does the lily have a secret eye that shuts until morning.


    Jesus said, wait with me. But the disciples slept.


    The cricket has such splendid fringe on its feet,
    and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body,
    and heaven knows if it ever sleeps.


    Jesus said, wait with me. And maybe the stars did, maybe the wind wound itself
    into a silver tree, and didn't move, maybe
    the lake far away, where once he walked as on a
    blue pavement,
    lay still and waited, wild awake.


    Oh the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not
    keep that vigil, how they must have wept,
    so utterly human, knowing this too
    must be a part of the story.
