    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    Thank you Lord for giving me

    The brand new year ahead.

    Help me live the way I should

    As each new day I tread.

                                                                            

    Give me gentle wisdom

    That I might help a friend.

    Give me strength and courage

    So a shoulder I may lend.

                                                                                    

    The year ahead is empty

    Help me fill it with good things.

    Each new day filled with joy

    And the happiness it brings.

                                                                                                                         

    Please give the leaders of our world

    A courage born of peace

    That they might lead us gently

    And all the fighting cease.

                                                                                                                    

    Please give to all upon this earth

    A heart that’s filled with love

    A gentle happy way to live

    With your blessings from above.

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

     

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place: and in the sky
    The larks still bravely singing fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the dead: Short days ago,
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved: and now we lie
    In Flanders fields!

    Taken from IN FLANDERS FIELDS
    By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

     

    Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 
    during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium
