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

    When the decorations of Christmas have been packed away
    then the work of Christmas begins:

     Lord, help us …

    to find the lost,
    to heal those broken in spirit,
    to feed the hungry,
    to release the oppressed,
    to rebuild the nations,
    to bring peace among all peoples,
    and to make a little music with the heart…

     Adapted from Work of Christmas Begins by Howard Thurman
