Rosemary's Blessing of  The Week:

Always pray to have eyes that see the best in people,

A heart that forgives the worst,

A mind that forgets the bad,

And a soul that never loses faith in God.

But fabulous is forever.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

    O God, when I have food,
help me to remember the hungry; 
    When I have work,
help me to remember the jobless; 
    When I have a home,
help me to remember those who have no home at all; 
    When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer, 
    And remembering,
help me to destroy my complacency;
bestir my compassion,
and be concerned enough to help;
By word and deed,
those who cry out for what we take for granted.
Amen.
