Rosemary’s Blessing:

Autumn Months

O God of Creation, you have blessed us with the changing of the seasons.

As we welcome the autumn months,
may the earlier setting of the sun
remind us to take time to rest.

May the brilliant colors of the leaves
remind us of the wonder of your creation.

May the steam of our breath in the cool air
remind us that it is you who give us the breath of life.

May the harvest from the fields remind us of the abundance we have been given and bounty we are to share with others.
May the dying of summer’s spirit remind us of your great promise that death is temporary and life is eternal.
We praise you for your goodness forever and ever.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Make me mindful this day of the Signs of Love all around me:
    Of good words spoken, of gentle touch extended,
    Of important things that spring from appreciation, and true passion,
    Of deeds born of generosity and real understanding.
    Grant me the power this day to live with thoughtful intention in my speech, choices, and actions,
    So that I may build the habit of living gracefully, with love for the people and experiences that shape my life,
    Which is Your Gift of Love to me each day.

    May those that love us, love us. And those that don't love us,

    May God turn their hearts. And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

    May He turn their ankles, so we will know them by their limping.

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

     

    Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
    Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
    Now, think.
    What delight God gives to humankind
    with all these things. . . .
    All nature is at the disposal of humankind.

    We are to work with it.

    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.
