Rosemary's Blessing

The Christmas Story will always be the story of Emmanuel, of God-with-us, always and everywhere, in the everyday, in the chaos, in the flight into exile, in the love between a man and a woman and in the birth of a child. It is the story of God who heals, empowers and loves us just as we are – in our greatness and our foolishness. As we anticipate the joy, the love and the peace that are God's Christmas gifts to us, let us receive them with gratitude and be sure to unfold them and share them especially where they need to be more visible.

“Father and Mother of all:

We give thanks for food and remember the hungry,

Rosemary’s Blessing      

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.

For those who have wondered about where our food drives go, Ken explains:

The food goes to the Network of Community Ministries which provides food, clothing, some limited financial assistance, and referrals, etc. to needy persons who live in the city of Richardson or the Richardson School District. We got started there because Cindy was volunteering there.

 

Jim Mahar of St. Bonaventure & the Bona Responds Team in Dallas to work for a week on the tornado damage.  Jim, instead of taking a cupcake (can you believe!), accepted from us a chain saw.

Rosemary's Blessing

Dear Lord, please give me

 A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,
     without which the world would be the poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

A sense of humor;

Time for quiet, silent meditation;

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

Amen.
