Rosemary's Blessing:   

I am strong.. because
I know my weakness

I am beautiful.. because
I am aware of my flaws

I am fearless.. because
I learned to recognize illusion from real

I am wise.. because
I learn from my mistakes

I can laugh.. because
I have known sadness

I am a lover.. because
I have felt hate and
I prefer to love

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week    

 May you live a long life full of gladness and health,
With a pocket full of gold as the least of your wealth.

May the dreams you hold dearest be those which come true,
The kindness you spread keep returning to you.

May the friendships you make be those which endure,
And all of your grey clouds be small ones for sure.

And trusting in Him to Whom we all pray,
May a song fill your heart every step of the way.

Grace E. Easley 

John reading from the minor Prophet, Amos.

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

go about doing good,
Yours are the hands, with which Christ is to
bless all people now.
