You reveal Yourself in your Creation,

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 health not your wealth;
And love your neighbor as much as yourself.

God,

Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

    and anyone that cannot get along with me.

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

    and anyone that I have hurt.

Bless the person that I cannot forgive
