A Blessing for St. Patrick’s Day

May you always know a love that shares

Their time, their comfort, their life and cares

Like someone who gave up his worldly ease

To return to a land of former captivity

To share the Love that knows no end

To set you free from guilt and shame

Patrick came back to Ireland so long ago

Out of love and calling did he go

E’en though he faced his painful past

No pain on earth could stop his task

And so today, my wish for you

To know the Christ that so loves you.

And just as St. Patrick once declared,

“The Lord is greater than all: I have said enough.”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow.
May the soft winds freshen your spirit.
May the sunshine brighten your heart
May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you.
And may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.
~Irish Blessing
Have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day!  Slainte, Lisa

A rainy day at Clonmacnoise; no crowds, just stillness.

“Some people feel the rain; others just get wet.” ~Bob Marley

“For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain.” ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

May the blessing of God’s soft rain be on you,
Falling gently on your head, refreshing your soul
With the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming.
May the strength of the winds of Heaven bless you,
Carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean
Sparkling after in the sunlight.
May the blessing of God’s earth be on you,
And as you walk the roads,
May you always have a kind word
for those you meet.    ~Irish Blessing

Love to all my blog readers; I appreciate you all so much.  When I first started this blog a few years ago, I wasn’t sure how long I would keep it up.  But it has been such a blessing to me in my life, and the comments and encouragement from all of you have helped me through a lot of challenging days.  So….big love and hugs to you across our computer screens.  🙂  Love, Lisa
