Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

 

Bless the Journey

 

May you see the way wherever the journey takes you, sailing safely over rough water and weathering the waves’ dips and crests

May you find treasure in Earth’s infinite variety, beauty and surprise

May you hear the ocean’s music in every shell you hold to your ear

May your boat fill with insight, laughter, generosity and love

as you discover new landscapes and explore the wide expanse of memory.

Navigator’s Blessing, by littlegoldboat

Rosemary's Blessing

Lord of all,

Bless our families.

Be they formed by blood or by circumstance,

Make them holy.

 

May we find you

In our relationships.

In our marriages, in our families, in our households, in our communities, in our global humanity.

 

May we look across all that divides us

And see family, and embrace as a family does, and love as a family ought to.

 

For where two or three gather in your name. There are you.

Amen.

Rosemary's Blessing

 Life is not a journey to the grave

With the intention of arriving safely

In a pretty and well preserved body,

But rather to skid in broadside,

Thoroughly used up,

Totally worn out,

And loudly proclaiming

—WOW—What a Ride!

Liam says, "Come again next week, Folks. "

 

 

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.

In connection with our First Blessing of The Men:

 

Life is a circle; it's beginning is its end,

Going on forever, beginning when time began.

 

Enclosed within the circle is every thought of love, 

Gliding on the winds of time, on the wings of a dove.

 

In the center of the circle is the hardened core of hate,

Bringing upon the wars of the world and may someday bring its fate.

 

But then life is a circle; it's beginning is it's end,

Going on forever beginning when time began.

 

 Life is a circle; it's beginning is it's end,

As it was in the beginning it shall be again.
