    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    To laugh often and much;
    To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
    To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
    To appreciate beauty;
    To find the best in others;
    To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
    To know even one life has breathed easier because you lived.
    This is to have succeeded.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    What good did it do when you frowned?  Let me ask:

    Did it help you at all to accomplish your task?

    Did it lighten your burden or help you along?

    Did the frown that you wore make a right out of wrong?

                                                          

    What good did it do to be grouchy today?

    Did your surliness drive any trouble away?

    Did you cover more ground than you usually do?

    Because of the grouch that you carried with you?

                                                                        

    If not, what’s the use of a grouch or a frown?

    If it won’t smooth a path or a grim trouble down?

    If it doesn’t assist you , it isn’t worth while:

    Your work may be hard, but just do it and smile.

    Rosemary's Blessing:                                    

    O God, when I have food,
    help me to remember the hungry;
    When I have work,
    help me to remember the jobless;
    When I have a home,
    help me to remember those who have no home at all;
    When I am without pain,
    help me to remember those who suffer,
    And remembering,
    help me to destroy my complacency;
    bestir my compassion,
    and be concerned enough to help;
    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.
    Amen.
