Rosemary’s Blessing

 May the sun shine bright on your joyous days

And the rain refresh you through peaceful nights.

May summer show God’s wondrous ways

And prepare you for heaven’s great delights

 

And till we meet there,

May the God of summertime

Hold you in the palm of her hand

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Lord, give me a few friends who will love me for what I am, and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope.   And though I come not within sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me to be thankful for life, and for time’s olden memories that are good and sweet.  And may the evening’s twilight find me gentle still.

    1 Timothy 2: It is my wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument.
    Luke 16: No servant can serve two masters.  He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other.  You cannot serve both God and mammon.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference
    in this world, in your neighborhood,
    so that you will courageously try
    what you don’t think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you’ll have all the strength necessary.
