Rosemary's Blessing:  

A Family Blessing

 

Lord of all,

Bless our families,

Be they formed by blood or by circumstance,

Make them holy.

May we find you in our relationships.

In our marriages, in our families,

In our households, in our communities,

In our  global  humanity.

May we look across all that divides us

And see family,

And embrace as a family does.

And love as a family ought to.

For where two or three gather in your name,

There you are in the midst.

There indeed are you,

The one for whom we long so deeply.

Amen.

    2 Kings 4:  Elisha said, "Pass it around to the people to eat."  His servant said, "For a hundred men? There's not nearly enough!" Elisha said, "Just go ahead and do it. God says there's plenty."   And sure enough, there was. He passed around what he had – they not only ate, but had leftovers.

    Ephesians 4:  You have one Master, one faith, one baptism,  one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness.

    John 6:  When the people had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather the leftovers so nothing is wasted."  They went to work and filled twelve large baskets with leftovers from the five barley loaves.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Life is not a journey to the grave

    With the intention of arriving safely

    In a pretty and well preserved body,

    But rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke,

    Thoroughly used up,

    Totally worn out,

    And loudly proclaiming

    —WOW—What a Ride!
