Rosemary's Blessing:  Dear God …

Draw me into the radiant glory of your presence and into the small lights of those with whom I live and work.  Inspire me to take time for those who are discouraged.  And may I live with the kind of presence that enables others to feel at home.  Seven Sacred Pauses by Macrina Wiederkehr

    Jeremiah 20:  But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion: my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph. In their failure they will be put to utter shame, to lasting, unforgettable confusion.
    Romans 5:  But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many.
    Matthew 10:  Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Loving God, through the gift of our fathers,
    you reveal your wisdom, love and care.

    Continue to bless and guide these holy men
    you have given to us in our lives.

    Support them in their call
    to lead holy lives of faithfulness, respect and integrity.

    May their witness of faith and love
    shine from them and on their children and families
    giving hope and encouragement to all.

    Bless them for all the ways they lift their children to achieve their dreams.
    Bless them for their sacrifice, their forgiveness and their guidance.

    Bless grandfathers, uncles, brothers, cousins, teachers and coaches
    who have shown us love and support.

    For those fathers who have lost a child or spouse,
    give them your loving touch of healing
    consoling them with your gentle care.

    For those fathers who have gone before us,
    bring them to your eternal banquet of joy and peace;
    bring them the fullness of union with you
    and communion with us as we remember their love for us.
    Amen.

    Rosemary's Blessing: 

     

    May God bless you with tears…
    to shed for those who suffer from pain,
    rejection, starvation and war.
    May God bless you so that
    you may reach out your hand
    to comfort them and turn their pain into joy.

    The Status of The Hip:

    1.  Been off pain meds since Tuesday.  Not because of being macho.  Just no pain.

    2.  The physical therapist says the therapy is going so good that probably Monday we will get rid of the walker and use a cane to walk with.

    3.  I was told one hour of being up, one hour of rest.  So true.  After an hour sitting up, I am exhausted and can sleep an hour.  In fact, I am delighted that the exhaustion, the trembles, the cold to the bone feeling, and the dizziness at the end of the hour has gone away a day or so ago.   

    4.  Thanks for everything, the food, the special, community blessed shawl, and the affirmation.
