Amos: Hear this, you who trample upon the needy and destroy the poor of the land!
1 Timothy 2: It is my wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument.
Luke 16: No servant can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and mammon.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

… May God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference
in this world, in your neighborhood,
so that you will courageously try
what you don’t think you can do, but,
in Jesus Christ you’ll have all the strength necessary.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

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.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans.

Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy.

Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter.

Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw.

You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

Another fresh new year is here …
     Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
     To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given me
     To live each day with zest …
To daily grow and try to be
     My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
     Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
     And sing more joyful songs!
