    Exodus 20: In those days, God delivered all these commandments: “I, the LORD am your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt,  that place of slavery.

    1 Corinthians 1: For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

    John 2:  He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves he said, “Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”

    Rosemary's Blessing:
     

    A Prayer For Growing Old Gracefully

    Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

    Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

    I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

    Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

    Amen.

    Isaiah 6:  And then I heard the voice of the Master: "Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?" I spoke up, "I'll go. Send me!"

    1 Corinthians 15:  So whether you heard it from me or from those others, it's all the same: We spoke God's truth and you entrusted your lives.

    Luke 5:  When he finished teaching, he said to Simon, "Push out into deep water and let your nets out for a catch."

    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
