Rosemary's Blessing: 

 

May God bless you with tears…
to shed for those who suffer from pain,
rejection, starvation and war.
May God bless you so that
you may reach out your hand
to comfort them and turn their pain into joy.

Taken from A Franciscan Christmas Blessing for Justice and Peace December 20, 2005

The Status of The Hip:

1.  Been off pain meds since Tuesday.  Not because of being macho.  Just no pain.

2.  The physical therapist says the therapy is going so good that probably Monday we will get rid of the walker and use a cane to walk with.

3.  I was told one hour of being up, one hour of rest.  So true.  After an hour sitting up, I am exhausted and can sleep an hour.  In fact, I am delighted that the exhaustion, the trembles, the cold to the bone feeling, and the dizziness at the end of the hour has gone away a day or so ago.   

4.  Thanks for everything, the food, the special, community blessed shawl, and the affirmation.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

 

Prayer of Gratitude

 

O Creator,

Awaken my heart

    to the miracle of life that surrounds me;

    the beauty of friendship, family, and community;

    and the knowledge that I am forever held in your love.

May I always remember to seek your grace in unexpected places,

filling me with joy and gratitude for your abundant blessings,

as I open myself to the Charity of Christ.

Amen
