Happy St. Patrick's Day

An Old Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.


May the Luck of the Irish be with you.



Since Michael's father's line goes from Australia back to Ireland I thought I'd put a few Irish pictures in honor of his Irish Heritage.

An Old Irish Blessing
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,

wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!


An Irish Prayer
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,

And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

Remember the Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow is the blessings the Lord has given you. "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Matt 6:21 and 3 Nephi 13:21) May you recognize your treasures and thank the Lord.
