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.

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:

I was regretting the past

And fearing the future.

Suddenly my Lord was speaking

“My name is I AM.”

He paused. I waited

He continued,

John reading from Jonah.

“When you live in the past

With its mistakes and regrets,

It is hard. I am not there.

My name is not I WAS.

“When you live in the future,

With its problems and fears,

It is hard. I am not there.

My name is not I WILL BE.

“When you live in this moment,

It is not hard. I am here.

My name is I AM.”

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.

Please give to all upon this earth

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.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

Sometimes readings in Advent focus mainly on repentance and on waiting for the Savior and Messiah to redeem us from our sins. Yet, the Jewish people of the Hebrew Scriptures and the early Christians had much broader expectations. The Savior is the one who comforts and heals us, rescues and unbinds us, enlightens us and lifts us up as well as wipes away our sins. The earthly life of Jesus was filled with his healing and compassionate acts; his treating outcasts and women with inclusivity, dignity and love; his breaking down cultural, religious and social walls that separate people; and his not only forgiving sinners, but also eating with them. This is what Jesus wants to do for us. Advent is a time of becoming more whole, a time of becoming all we want to be and all God wants us to be.

Rosemary reading her Blessing of The Week

This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season. Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth. The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light? What's not OK in me? What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me? Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice? To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

Here is a prayer said to be written by St. Thomas Moore reminding us to live joyfully.

Prayer to live Joyfully:

Grant me, O Lord good digestion and also something to digest.

Grant me, O Lord a healthy body, and the necessary good humor to maintain it.

Grant me a simple soul that knows no boredom, grumblings, sighs or laments.

Grant me, O Lord, a sense of humor.

Allow me grace to be able to take a joke–to discover in life a bit of Joy and to be able to share it with others.

Amen
