Rosemary's Blessing

Valentine  Gift of Love

Make me mindful this day of the Signs of Love all around me:

Of good words spoken, of gentle touch extended,

Of important things that spring from appreciation, and true passion,

Of deeds born of generosity and real understanding.

Grant me the power this day to live with thoughtful intention in my speech, choices, and actions,

So that I may build the habit of living gracefully, with love for the people and experiences that shape my life,

Which is Your Gift of Love to me each day.

Ken Philipps

Dearest Community Members,

Rosemary, even Aviana, & I have really, really so missed all of you.   We hope and pray that you are all healthy and safe.

Should you need anything from the stores and cannot or feel hesitant about going out, please let me & Rosemary know.  People from the community have already volunteered to shop for any of you.  

We will keep you posted about next Sunday.   Live stream the celebration (Mike)?  Let John present his Matthew studies?

Thanks to all you members of the board who unanimously voted to take this Sunday off, even though I was looking for a loop hole. 

Here is why we go to Oaxaca.  The view outside our second floor window.  A paradise of tropical flowers.  

Happy 11th Anniversary, Fred and Martha

Rosemary’s Blessing  

Revel in a friendly smile,

Grasp the offered hand, warm and strong,

And with your best love be reconciled.

 Watch the clouds march across the sky

As you come from your daily labor,

Your heart open for surprise

 And may the God of surprises

Who filled the world with wonder

Bless you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Have a Great Week, J.S    (214-783-0443)

Rosemary's Blessing:

May an abundance of gratitude burst forth in our minds and hearts as we remember all the blessings in our life.

May we slow our hurried pace these days so we can be aware of, and enjoy, what we can too easily take for granted.

May we always be open, willing and ready to share our blessings with others and never forget the God who loves us lavishly and unconditionally.

And may we remember that our thanksgiving is incomplete until we pay it forward by doing for others what they cannot do for themselves.

Amen.

From a  prayer by Sr. Jean Amore CSJ, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, N.Y.
