    Rosemary’s Blessing

     May the sun shine bright on your joyous days

    And the rain refresh you through peaceful nights.

    May summer show God’s wondrous ways

    And prepare you for heaven’s great delights

    May the God of summertime

    Hold you in the palm of her hand

    Habakkuk 1: For the vision still has its time,  presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint;  if it delays, wait for it,  it will surely come, it will not be late.
    2 Timothy 1: I remind you, to stir into flame the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.
     Luke 17: “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree,  ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”

    Grasp the offered hand, warm and strong,

    And with your best love be reconciled.
