1 Corinthians 1:  It is due to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord.”

And to grow each day in hope and trust
And may the God of new beginnings
Grant you a week of love and peace.

Rosemary’s Blessing

Come, O Dancing God,

Spirit of Life and Love,

of Beauty and Diversity,

stir up my soul,

bathe me in your light,

and unleash my own spirit

Rosemary's Blessing: 

 Oh, Lord,

Lent goes by too quickly, as does my Life.

Help me to take advantage of all the opportunities You give Me.

Don't let me be so caught up in the Demands of the Day,

The Phone, the Doorbell, The Computer

That I lose Touch with You and the

Invitation to Love which You Always offer Me.

 Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

 Another fresh new year is here …
     Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
     To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given me
     To live each day with zest …
To daily grow and try to be
     My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
     Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
     And sing more joyful songs!

William Arthur Ward
