A rest after a busy day

Rosemary's Blessing:  

…and life is still a constant surprise to me.  We never know what will happen next, what we will see, and what important person will come into our life, or what important person we will lose.  Life is change, constant change, and unless we are lucky enough to find comedy in it, change is nearly always drama, if not tragedy.  But after everything, and even when the skies turn scarlet and threatening, I still believe that if we are lucky enough to be alive, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed.  And we must have faith in God, and in the Universe, and in a better tomorrow even if that faith is not always deserved.

Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan

Acts of the Apostles 5:  Many signs and wonders were done among the people at the hands of the apostles.

Revelation 1:  Do not be afraid.  I am the first and the last, the one who lives.

John 20:  Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

We are called to be co-partners and co-workers in the unfolding of God’s vision. Our faith brings us to a deep truth: we are made in the image and likeness of a God who is unconditional and unfathomable love. Jesus lives and teaches this idea of God that surpasses all other concepts of God. Our God is intimately close to us and in love with us. We abide in God.

Rosemary’s Blessing    

Come, O Dancing God,

Spirit of Life and Love,

of Beauty and Diversity,

stir up my soul,

bathe me in your light,

and unleash my own spirit

that I may dance with you

and be light for those around me

and reflect your love to all that I meet this week.

Acts of the Apostles 4:  He is the stone rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.

1 John 3:   Beloved: See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. 

John 10:  I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep.

Apologies for overlooking these two important reminders.

1.     Saturday night remember to set clocks back an hour, "Fall back."

2.     Let's honor the people we love who have moved to the other side by bringing their pictures to our celebration.

And for Halloween,
