Isaiah 35:  Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared; then will the lame leap like a stag, then the tongue of the mute will sing.
James 5:  You too must be patient.  Make your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Matthew 11:  Jesus said to them in reply,  “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.

Thanks again, Folks, for doing what you can.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey …

I asked for health, that I might do great things.
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things …

I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
I was given poverty, that I might be wise …

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God …

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things …

I got nothing I asked for—but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among men, most richly blessed”

Found on the body of a Confederate Soldier in the Civil War

Rosemary’s Blessing

 God our father —  may everything we do be "first class."

Imprint your own loving "zip code"
upon our hearts 
in that we may never go astray.

 Provide in your gracious providence
"special handling" for those of us who are "fragile" 
and keep us in one piece.

 We have been
"signed, sealed, stamped, and delivered" 
in your image and likeness,
and we beg you to keep us in your care 
as we go about our "appointed rounds."

 And when our days draw to a close 
and we are marked "Return to Sender," 
be there to greet us at heaven's door 
so that nobody may ever say,
"unknown at this address."

 Amen.

Rosemary's Blessing

May you find truth in the week’s smallest grace

And hope in the week’s heaviest cross.

May you learn to walk a little bit slower

And to grow each day in hope and trust,

And may the God of new beginnings

Grant you a week of love and peace.
