Rosemary's Blessing:   

Dear Lord, please give me

 A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,
     without which the world would be the poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

A sense of humor;

Time for quiet, silent meditation;  

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

Amen.

 We donated this week: 

1. $700 for Karina in Mexico.  This includes donations targeted especially for Karina in Cuernavaca, Mexico.  I will take this to her Jan. 28, when I visit Mexico to see how she is doing after the death of her mother recently.  She had panicked a bit, especially that she might get thrown out of her little garage.  She is the woman who had polio as a young girl and is crippled.  We have supported the two of them for over 20 years.

Rosemary's Blessing

This Christmas

let us make visible God's love,

forgiveness, compassion and generosity

in our thoughts, words and actions. 

Like the Shepherds and Kings,

let us be courageous and find God in the different and the stranger. 

Let us let go of grudges and hurts. Let us be strong yet gentle.  

Let us give thanks for God’s gifts of love we find in our family, friends and earth, our common home.

Today, in the New year, and in all the days of our lives

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

What good did it do when you frowned?  Let me ask:

Did it help you at all to accomplish your task?

Did it lighten your burden or help you along?

Did the frown that you wore make a right out of wrong?

                                                      

What good did it do to be grouchy today?

Did your surliness drive any trouble away?

Did you cover more ground than you usually do?

Because of the grouch that you carried with you?

                                                                    

If not, what’s the use of a grouch or a frown?

If it won’t smooth a path or a grim trouble down?

If it doesn’t assist you , it isn’t worth while:

Your work may be hard, but just do it and smile.
