    Rosemary's Blessing: 

     

    Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans. 

    Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy. 

    Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter. 

    Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw. 

    You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.
