Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

Oh God who made me absolutely unique,

 

Help me to value more the Person You made Me to be.

 

And protect me from comparisons and envy and

discouragement over what I am not.

    Wisdom 9: Who can know God’s counsel, or who can conceive what the LORD intends?  For the deliberations of mortals are timid,  and unsure are our plans.

    Philemon: Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me, but even more so to you, as a man and in the Lord.

    Luke 14: Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

    Christ has no body now on earth but yours,

         no hands but yours,
