Rosemary's Blessing of  The Week: 

 We thank you for the turning of the seasons

and the long days and the short nights,

for blessing us with summertime,

with sunlight and heat, and with sand and surf.

 

Grant that we may use well our summer respite

for rest and recreation and recollection

and protect us and all those we love this summer.

    Rosemary's Blessing of the Week.

    To laugh often and much;

    To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

    To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

    To appreciate beauty;

    To find the best in others;

    To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

    To know even one life has breathed easier because you lived.

    This is to have succeeded.

     

    Success – Ralph Waldo Emerson

     

    May you succeed!

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    O God, when I have food,
    help me to remember the hungry;
    When I have work,
    help me to remember the jobless;
    When I have a home,
    help me to remember those who have no home at all;
    When I am without pain,
    help me to remember those who suffer,
    And remembering,
    help me to destroy my complacency;
    bestir my compassion,
    and be concerned enough to help;
    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.
    Amen.
