True?

 

 “The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists in listening to them. Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them. It is God's love for us that He not only gives us His Word but also lends us His ear. So it is His work ..

Rosemary's Blessing:     

 May you hear the voice of God

In the raging storm and in the quiet breeze

In the loving whisper and in the angry cry

And may the God of invitations, surprises and mysteries

Bless you and guide you always.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!

 

Taken from IN FLANDERS FIELDS
By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 
during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium

Revel in a friendly smile,

Grasp the offered hand, warm and strong,

And with your best love be reconciled.

 Watch the clouds march across the sky

As you come from your daily labor,

Your heart open for surprise

Who filled the world with wonder

Bless you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
