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 full years not your lean; Count your kind deeds not your mean; Count your health not your wealth; And love your neighbor as much as yourself.

Isaiah 58:  Thus says the LORD: Share your bread with the  hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own.
1 Corinthians 2:  I came to you in weakness and fear and much trembling, and my message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of Spirit and power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God.
Matthew 5: “… Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Make me mindful this day of the Signs of Love all around me:
Of good words spoken, of gentle touch extended,
Of important things that spring from appreciation, and true passion,
Of deeds born of generosity and real understanding.
Grant me the power this day to live with thoughtful intention in my speech, choices, and actions,
So that I may build the habit of living gracefully, with love for the people and experiences that shape my life,
Which is Your Gift of Love to me each day.
Ken Philipps

Rosemary's Blessing

What is success?

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 the 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 have lived.

This is to have succeeded!

Ralph Waldo Emerson
