    The Kiss of Peace


    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans.
    Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy.
    Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter.
    Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw.
    You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

    Deuteronomy 8:  He therefore let you be afflicted with hunger, and then fed you with manna, a food unknown to you and your fathers, in order to show you that not by bread alone does one live, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the LORD.
    1 Corinthians 10:  The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ?  The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
    John 6:  Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.

    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.
