Rosemary's Blessing:

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

    May you walk with God

    In whatever you do

    Wherever you go

     

    Walking with God means…

    Walking with honesty

    And with courage,

    Walking with love

    And respect

    And concern for the feelings of others

     

    May you talk to God

    This summer

    And every day and

    In every situation

     

    Talking with God means…

    Praying words of praise

    For the beauty of creation

    Saying prayers of thanks

    For friends and good times,

    Asking God's help

    In all your decisions

    Expressing sorrow

    When you have failed

     

    May you talk with God

    Every day. Amen.

    Rosemary's Blessing: 

    What Is Success

    by Ralph Waldo Emerson

     

    To laugh often and much;
    To win the respect of intelligent people and
    the affection of children;
    To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure
    the betrayal of false friends;
    To appreciate beauty;
    To find the best in others;
    To give of one's self;
    To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
    To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and
    sung with exultation;
    To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived –
    This is to have succeeded.
