    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

    Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

    I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

    Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

    Amen.

    17th Century Nun’s Prayer

    May today there be peace within. May you trust that you

    are exactly where you are meant to be.

     

    May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born

    of faith in yourself and others.

     

    May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on

    the love that has been given to you.

     

    May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

     

    Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your

    soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

     

    It is there for each and every one of us.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    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.

    My Dear Fred, take this cupcake as a great remedy for double vision.  On the other hand, maybe you have 2 cupcakes there.  Plus, you see two of me.  What blessings.

     

    Have a Great Week, J.S.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans. 

    Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy. 

    Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter. 

    Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw. 

    You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    Thank you Lord for giving me

    The brand new year ahead.

    Help me live the way I should

    As each new day I tread.

                                                                            

    Give me gentle wisdom

    That I might help a friend.

    Give me strength and courage

    So a shoulder I may lend.

                                                                                    

    The year ahead is empty

    Help me fill it with good things.

    Each new day filled with joy

    And the happiness it brings.

                                                                                                                         

    Please give the leaders of our world

    A courage born of peace

    That they might lead us gently

    And all the fighting cease.

    A heart that’s filled with love

    A gentle happy way to live

    With your blessings from above.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    May an abundance of gratitude burst forth in our minds and hearts as we remember all the blessings in our life.
     

    May we slow our hurried pace these days so we can be aware of, and enjoy, what we can too easily take for granted.
     

    May we always be open, willing and ready to share our blessings with others and never forget the God who loves us lavishly and unconditionally.
     

    And  may we remember that our thanksgiving is incomplete until we pay it forward by doing for others what they cannot do for themselves.
     

    Amen.
