 Rosemary’s Blessing  

May those that love us, love us. And those that don't love us,

May God turn their hearts. And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

May He turn their ankles, so we will know them by their limping.

    Rosemary's Blessing: 

    A Prayer For Growing Old Gracefully

     Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

    Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

    I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

    Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give me, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

    Amen.

    Good old friends, Don & Debbie with their daughter, Heather, Jeff, and the beautiful McKinley.  

     

    A special financial report from Grace, our board president:

    On behalf of John Stack Ministries I would like to present the financials for the first quarter of 2015.

     First we want to thank the community for their past and present generosity. We are so thank for all you do and contribute.

     The starting balance on January 1 was approximately 14,000.00 and ending March 31 with a balance of 12,000.00.  That being said we are running 2000.00 short for the first quarter.

    We have a reserve amount of 38,000.00 that we have available to tap into if our situation requires.

      Weekly expenses are approximately 1200.00 per week which includes rent, insurance, music and salary. Rosemary reports the weekly income in the weekly blog so the community can see our weekly deficits which can range from 200.00 to a 400.00 short fall each week.

     If you are able to contribute a small amount more each month we would greatly appreciate your help.  We will review our financials in 6 months and report our situation at that time.

     Thank you to the choir for the outstanding music, the family’s who attend, Kevin and Georgie and also to John Stack, John Cade, and Mike Carroll for their inspirational homilies, in making us think about our daily lives and wanting  to be better individuals. And to Rosemary for all you do that doesn’t get mentioned, as well as your endearing end of mass prayers!

    Thank you,  Grace

     

      Grace
