    1 Kings 17:  'The jar of flour will not run out and the bottle of oil will not become empty before God sends rain on the land and ends this drought."

    Hebrews 9:  But instead he sacrificed himself once and for all, summing up all the other sacrifices in this sacrifice of himself, the final solution of sin.

    Mark 12:  "All the others gave what they'll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn't afford – she gave her all."

    The Kiss of Peace

     

     

    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!

    Take up our quarrel with the foe!
    To you from falling hands we throw
    The torch, Be yours to bear it high!
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep tho’ poppies blow
    In Flanders Field.

    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:

    Gracious God inspire us with the hope in the gift of shalom, the gift of wholeness and the promise of your presence.

    Give wisdom to seek nonviolence as an answer to the violence of our lives and world.

    Give us courage to seek wholeness in a fractured and divided world, to find reconciliation rather than revenge, to abandon the instruments of violence and death and entrust our lives, our homes and our families to you.

    May your presence fill us and others with the thirst for unity, wholeness, and the desire to see all people valued as created in your image.

    May we and others receive your shalom, that we might be faithful instruments of your love.

    Blessed be your name forever,

    Amen.

    May a song fill your heart every step of the way.
