    Lent goes by too quickly, as does my Life.

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

    Rick & Jackie Urbanczyk's Blessing:  

    May you be blessed with all things good.
    May your joys, like the stars at night, be too numerous to count.
    May your victories be more abundant than all the grains of sand
    on all the beaches on all the oceans in all the world.
    May lack and struggle only serve to make you stronger
    and may beauty, order and abundance be your constant companions.
    May every pathway you choose lead to
    that which is pure and good and lovely.
    May every doubt and fear be replaced by a deep abiding trust
    as you behold evidence of a Higher Power all around you.
    And when there is only darkness and the storms of life are closing in…
    May the light at the core of your being illuminate the world.
    May you always be aware you are loved beyond measure
    and may you be willing to love unconditionally in return.
    May you always feel protected and cradled in the arms of God,
    like the cherished child you are.
    And when you are tempted to judge,
    may you be reminded that we are all one
    and that every thought you think reverberates across the universe,
    touching everyone and everything.
    And when you are tempted to hold back,
    may you remember that love flows best when it flows freely…
    and it is in giving that we receive the greatest gift.
    May you always have music and laughter
    and may a rainbow follow every storm.
    May gladness wash away every disappointment,
    may joy dissolve every sorrow…and may love ease every pain.
    May every wound bring wisdom and every trial bring triumph
    and with each passing day may you live more abundantly
    than the day before.
    May you be blessed.
    And may others be blessed by you.
    This is my heartfelt wish for you.

    May you be blessed.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place: and in the sky
    The larks still bravely singing fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the dead: Short days ago,
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved: and now we lie
    In Flanders fields!

    Revelation 7:  These are those who come from the great tribulation.  And they’ve washed their robes, scrubbed them clean in the blood of the Lamb.  That’s why they’re standing before God’s Throne.

     Matthew 5:  When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside.  Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed ones, climbed with him.  Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Gracious God inspire us with the hope in the gift of shalom, the gift of wholeness and the promise of your presence.

    Give wisdom to seek nonviolence as an answer to the violence of our lives and world.

    Give us courage to seek wholeness in a fractured and divided world, to find reconciliation rather than revenge, to abandon the instruments of violence and death and entrust our lives, our homes and our families to you.

    May your presence fill us and others with the thirst for unity, wholeness, and the desire to see all people valued as created in your image.

    May we and others receive your shalom, that we might be faithful instruments of your love.

    Blessed be your name forever,

    Amen.
