Rosemary's Blessing: 

As we begin the new year of 2011,

May our relationship with God continue to grow, 

May our days be filled with blessings of all sorts,

May those we love be near us in spirit if not in person,

May we be forever grateful for all we have,

And may we always be alert for opportunities

to share our gifts and blessings with others.

Tom reads from Jeremiah.

 

Rosemary's Blessing of the Week.

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you lived.

This is to have succeeded.

 

Success – Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

May you succeed!
