Rosemary's Blessing

 Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
Now, think.
What delight God gives to humankind
with all these things. . . .
All nature is at the disposal of humankind.
We are to work with it.
For without we cannot survive.

Rosemary's Blessing

May God grant you the strength and faith to

Count your blessings, not your crosses;
Count your gains not your losses.
Count your joys not your woes;
Count your friends not your foes.
Count your smiles not your tears;
Count your courage not your fears.
Count your health not your wealth;
And love your neighbor as much as yourself.
