    Rosemary's Blessing of  The Week

     As Lazarus came forth alive from the tomb

    May we too, come forth from the tombs which bind and hold us.

    May we be filled with life and blessings

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    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

    Rosemary's Blessing: 

    Slow me down, Lord; I am going too fast,

    I can’t see my brother as he goes past;

    I miss a lot of good things day by day,

    I don’t know blessings when they come my way.

     

    Slow me down, Lord so I can see

    More of the things that are good for me;

    A little less of me, a mile more of you,

    Let Heavenly atmosphere trickle thru,

     

    Let me help a brother when the going’s rough,

    When folks work together, things aren’t so tough;

    Slow me down, Lord; so that I can talk

    With more of your angels … slow me down to a walk.
