ByRosemary

Habakkuk 12:  The rash one has no integrity; but the just one, because of his faith, shall live.

2 Timothy 1:  Guard this rich trust with the help of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us.

Luke 17:  If you have faith the  size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

    Lynda reads her blessing

     

     

    Lynda's Blessing:

    Today I am thankful for eyes that have come to see that life will not always be easy.
    That road will bend.
    Those lines will blur.
    That tides will rise.
    And that storms will come.
    I am thankful for those lights that took the form of humans.
    Who shone into me when I was at my lowest.
    Who were not afraid of sadness. Or darkness.
    Or the many layers that wove themselves around me and made me hard to understand.
    Or reach. Or even hard to love sometimes.
    I'm thankful for skies that change color.
    For paths that change direction.
    And for seasons that remind me that we are all just one breath away from a new beginning.
    I am thankful, knowing that kindness still exists.
    That the truth is out there.
    That faith can move mountains.
    And that I was made for every last bit of it.

    ~ 'Thankful' by Ullie Kaye

    2 Kings 4:  Elisha said, "Pass it around to the people to eat."  His servant said, "For a hundred men? There's not nearly enough!" Elisha said, "Just go ahead and do it. God says there's plenty."   And sure enough, there was. He passed around what he had – they not only ate, but had leftovers.

    Ephesians 4:  You have one Master, one faith, one baptism,  one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness.

    John 6:  When the people had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather the leftovers so nothing is wasted."  They went to work and filled twelve large baskets with leftovers from the five barley loaves.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Life is not a journey to the grave

    With the intention of arriving safely

    In a pretty and well preserved body,

    But rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke,

    Thoroughly used up,

    Totally worn out,

    And loudly proclaiming

    —WOW—What a Ride!

    Hunter S. Thompson

     Samuel 26: But David said to Abishai, “Do not harm him, for who can lay hands on the LORD’s anointed and remain unpunished?”  So David took the spear and the water jug from their place at Saul’s head, and they got away without anyone’s seeing or knowing or awakening. 

    1 Corinthians 15:  Just as we have borne the image of the earthly one, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly one.

    Luke 6: To you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Let us pray to our God     

    To the God of Mary and Joseph,

    To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

     

    May our spirit fill the world with beauty and wonder.

    May our mind seek truth with humility and openness.

     

    May our hearts forgive without limit.

    May our love for friend, enemy and outcast be without measure.

    May our needs be few and my living simple.

    Amos 7:   But Amos stood up to Amaziah: "I never set up to be a preacher, never had plans to be a preacher. I raised cattle and I pruned trees.  Then God took me off the farm and said, 'Go preach to my people Israel.'

    Ephesians 1:  Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we're a free people – free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free!

    Mark 6:   Then they were on the road. They preached with joyful urgency that life can be radically different;   right and left they sent the demons packing; they brought wellness to the sick, anointing their bodies, healing their spirits.
