    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.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    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,

     

    “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

     

    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.

  • Vaccines!!

    Extra, Extra, I am seeing a Light at the end  of the tunnel!

     

    Rosemary & I got our vaccines today at the Fair Park Super Center.  I phoned John Cade, he raced down, and he and his mother in law got the vaccine, too.

     

    As of today you need no appointment.  Just be 75 or older & ID.  I will verify that you are all passed that age.

     

    It took us 1 hour waiting in the car to get in the Fair Park gate 5 check point.  Once in, it was really well organized and in 2 1/2 hours we walked out vaccinated.

    The easy & quick way to get there: 75 South, I30 East, look for the Ferris wheel on your right, and you are there.

     

    Rosemary & I wanted to pass the word as soon as possible.   Rosemary was given this tip yesterday afternoon, Wednesday by a neighbor.   No wonder we love this neighborhood!

    Happy Birthday today, Jan Keszler!

     

    Am I actually seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Rosemary's Blessing

    Loving God,

    As I journey into the unknown territory of a new year…

    As I hurt in the process of loving those I dislike or find difficult…

    As I learn to accept my strengths, weaknesses and mistakes…

    As I keep searching for the truth in times of confusion, doubt and conflict…

    As I try to be a voice for the voiceless and powerless…

    As I strive to live and witness your inclusive love, compassion, forgiveness, justice and peace…

    As I do the work of the Christmas message and make Christ visible to others…

    Walk closely with me, my God.
