Do you want to fast this Lent?

  • Fast from hurting words and say kind words
  • Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude
  • Fast from anger and be filled with patience
  • Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope
  • Fast from worries and trust in God
  • Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity
  • Fast from pressures and be prayerful
  • Fast from bitterness and fill your heart with joy
  • Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others
  • Fast from grudges and be reconciled
  • Fast from words and be silent so you can listen

    75??!!  You got to be kidding    

     

     

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    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

    Rosemary's Blessing:   

    I am strong.. because
    I know my weakness

    I am beautiful.. because
    I am aware of my flaws

    I am fearless.. because
    I learned to recognize illusion from real

    I am wise.. because
    I learn from my mistakes

    I can laugh.. because
    I have known sadness

    I am a lover.. because
    I have felt hate and
    I prefer to love

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference
    in this world, in your neighborhood,
    so that you will courageously try
    what you don’t think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you’ll have all the strength necessary.
