Rosemary's Blessing

May God grant you the strength and faith to

Count your blessings, not your crosses;
Count your gains not your losses.
Count your joys not your woes;
Count your friends not your foes.
Count your smiles not your tears;
Count your courage not your fears.
Count your health not your wealth;
And love your neighbor as much as yourself.

Advent Celebrations already: this is way early, but two of my favorite performances are already scheduled for December, and tickets will go quickly.  As in past years, if you would like to join Rosemary & me, give me your name and the number of tickets you want.  We’ll have our usual evening of wine & cheese before each performance.

 

 1.  December 3, Friday, 8:00 P.M.: Dallas Symphony Pops Christmas concert (special for kids) at the Meyerson.  Tickets in the Choral Terrace (behind & above the stage & orchestra), $33.00.

 

  2.  December 14, Tuesday, 8:00 P.M.: Dallas Symphony Christmas Pageant (a platinum event) at the Meyerson. Tickets on the Orchestra Floor (like last year) $55.00.

 

I will place our orders by September 16 or 17.  Welcome to one or both wonderful evenings.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

 

Loving Father…

Often we forget those who struggle –

Those whose greatest need

is lost among our riches.

Help us to look again,

to see through your eyes.

You gave so freely.

Help us freely give.

Amen

Rosemary's Blessing

Love changes everything and everyone, and when we love, “love never lets us be the same.” With every thought and act of love we change ourselves and others.

As we learn from Jesus, love is a people thing. It’s personal, individual and unique. No one can do the work of love for me. There’s no app, website or program. We just have to do it. With each loving thought, word and deed, we bring about the Realm of God right here and right now. Sometimes it’s sweet and patient; sometimes it takes us out of our comfort zone, takes courage and can be exhausting.

From  A Lenten Reflection by Sister Jean Amore, CSJ
