Rosemary's Blessing: Oh God,

Slow me down, Lord; I am going too Fast,

I can't see my Brother as he goes past;

I miss a lot of good things day by day,

I don't know Blessings when they come my way.    

Slow me down, Lord, so I can see 

More of the things that are good for me;  

A little less of me, a mile more of You 

Let Heavenly Atmosphere trickle thru, 

Let me help a Brother when the going's Rough, 

When Folks work together, things aren't so Tough. 

Slow me down, Lord, so that I can Talk 

With more of Your Angels…Slow me down to a Walk

Rosemary's Blessing:   

Dear Lord, please give me

 A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,
     without which the world would be the poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

A sense of humor;

Time for quiet, silent meditation;  

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

Amen.

 We donated this week: 

1. $700 for Karina in Mexico.  This includes donations targeted especially for Karina in Cuernavaca, Mexico.  I will take this to her Jan. 28, when I visit Mexico to see how she is doing after the death of her mother recently.  She had panicked a bit, especially that she might get thrown out of her little garage.  She is the woman who had polio as a young girl and is crippled.  We have supported the two of them for over 20 years.

Rosemary’s Blessing:   A Dakota Indian Prayer (thanks to Lou Federico)

Grandfather, Great Spirit, you have been always. and before you nothing has been.  There is no one to pray to but you.  The star nations all over the heavens are yours,  and yours are the grasses of the earth.  You are older than all need, older than all pain and prayer.

Grandfather, Great Spirit, look upon your children.  The Spirit Lake Oyate, that they may face the winds and walk the good road to the day of quiet.

Grandfather, Great Spirit, fill us with the light.  Give us with the light.  Give us the strength to understand and eyes to see.  Teach us to walk, the soft earth, as relatives, to all that live.

Help us, for without you we are nothing.

Rosemary's Blessing of  The Week: 

 Life is short …

Break the rules,

Forgive quickly,

Kiss slowly,

Love truly,

Laugh uncontrollably,

And never regret anything that made you smile.
