Rosemary's Blessing

This Christmas

let us make visible God's love,

forgiveness, compassion and generosity

in our thoughts, words and actions. 

Like the Shepherds and Kings,

let us be courageous and find God in the different and the stranger. 

Let us let go of grudges and hurts. Let us be strong yet gentle.  

Let us give thanks for God’s gifts of love we find in our family, friends and earth, our common home.

Today, in the New year, and in all the days of our lives

Rosemary’s Blessing:

it’s all a matter of surrender.
this one truth i’ve come to know.
nothing can be taken from you
once you’re willing to let go.

all the riches we have gathered
all the treasure that we seek,
all the earth and sky and oceans,
have been promised to the meek.

so, dance within the tune allotted,
whether it be brief or long,
pausing not to mark the measures;
rejoicing ever in the song.

David Reske

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week    

 May you live a long life full of gladness and health,
With a pocket full of gold as the least of your wealth.

May the dreams you hold dearest be those which come true,
The kindness you spread keep returning to you.

May the friendships you make be those which endure,
And all of your grey clouds be small ones for sure.

And trusting in Him to Whom we all pray,
May a song fill your heart every step of the way.
