Rosemary's Blessing:  

 

Let us pray to our God      

To the God of Mary and Joseph,

To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

 

May our spirit fill the world with beauty and wonder.

May our mind seek truth with humility and openness.

 

May our hearts forgive without limit.

May our love for friend, enemy and outcast be without measure.

May our needs be few and my living simple.

Another Reminder for All Saints Day, November 3, 2024

 

A note from Becky concerning the Thanksgiving Food Drive at Legacy.

 

We are short about 49 turkeys.  The give away is this Sunday.  She (Becky) will be in town until mid afternoon on Thursday.  If anyone would like to donate a turkey,  she can meet people at the school from Tuesday through Thursday and store any turkeys in the school's freezers.   She can also take money donations.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

 

HOPI PRAYER OF THE SOUL'S GRADUATION:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there,
I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
On the ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.
