Rosemary’s Blessing:

Lord, give me a few friends who will love me for what I am, and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope.   And though I come not within sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me to be thankful for life, and for time’s olden memories that are good and sweet.  And may the evening’s twilight find me gentle still.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

 

… May God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference
in this world, in your neighborhood,
so that you will courageously try
what you don't think you can do, but,
in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.
