Reminder for the Epiphany of the Lord, January 5, 2025

Isaiah 60:  Get out of bed, Jerusalem! Wake up. Put your face in the sunlight. God's bright glory has risen for you.

Ephesians 3:  The mystery is that people who have never heard of God and those who have heard of him all their lives (what I've been calling outsiders and insiders) stand on the same ground before God.

Matthew 2:  They entered the house and saw the child in the arms of Mary, his mother. Overcome, they kneeled and worshiped him. Then they opened their luggage and presented gifts: gold, frankincense, myrrh.

    1 Kings 19:  Exhausted, he fell asleep under the lone broom bush. Suddenly an angel shook him awake and said, "Get up and eat!"

    Ephesians 4:  Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you.

    John 6:  I am the Bread of Life.  Your ancestors ate the manna bread in the desert and died.   But now here is Bread that truly comes down out of heaven. Anyone eating this Bread will not die, ever.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

     

    O God, we thank you for the fact that you have inspired men and women in all nations and in all cultures. We call you different names: some call you Allah; some call you Elohim; some call you Jehovah; some call you Brahma; some call you the Unmoved Mover.  But we know that these are all names for one and the same God.

    Grant that we will follow you and become so committed to your way and your kingdom that we will be able to establish in our lives and in this world a brother and sisterhood, that we will be able to establish here a kingdom of understanding, where men and women will live together as brothers and sisters and respect the dignity and worth of every human being.

    In the name and spirit of Jesus. Amen.

    Rosemary's Blessing:
     

    What good did it do when you frowned?  Let me ask:

    Did it help you at all to accomplish your task?

    Did it lighten your burden or help you along?

    Did the frown that you wore make a right out of wrong?

     

    What good did it do to be grouchy today?

    Did your surliness drive any trouble away?

    Did you cover more ground than you usually do?

    Because of the grouch that you carried with you?

     

    If not, what’s the use of a grouch or a frown?

    If it won’t smooth a path or a grim trouble down?

    If it doesn’t assist you, it isn’t worth while:

    Your work may be hard, but just do it and smile.

    From Becky Good:  Our Special Thanksgiving Goal

    Would it be possible for you to put in the blog the fact that we are having a food drive at Legacy for our neediest families?

    We’re actually doing a giveaway Sunday the 22nd so if people wanted to drop off food between now and Friday the 20th we’d appreciate it. It could be anything from a turkey to peanut butter to apples. I think apples keep for a while don’t they? 

    Thank you for this consideration. See you Sunday online!
