An Irish Prayer

May God give you…
For every storm, a rainbow,

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

Walk today knowing that God loves you so much.  Blessings, Lisa

Sheep in My Head All Night

That’s right…I said, “sheep”, not “sleep.”  I did sleep, but mostly I heard a particular song that we recorded yesterday, “Sheep of Portmagee.”  Over and over and over.  It was like the soundtrack to my nighttime dream adventures.   🙂

Thanks for any of you who said some prayers…they helped alot!  We got all the scratch vocals and the piano & hammered dulcimer tracks recorded yesterday.  Today is the fun part, with the other musicians coming in…fiddle, tinwhistle & Irish flute, guitar, and bodhran.  I can’t wait to hear how much better the songs will sound once they’re layered in.

It’s like life…solo I’m ok, I’ll do, I can be a blessing if I’m not being lazy.  But when we work together as a group, as a team of people with the same mission and goal, it’s amazingly better, fuller, richer, and more productive.  I know I’ll come away from today being blessed by these other musicians, by their artistry, by their work ethic, and by their willingness to help with this project.

Have a wonderful day, whether solo or in a group.   🙂  Slainte, Lisa

Three Folds in my Garment

Three folds in  my garment

Yet only one garment I bear

Three joints in a finger

Yet only one finger is there

Three leaves in a shamrock

Yet only one shamrock I wear

Frost, ice and snow

Yet these three are nothing but water

Three persons in God

Yet only one God is there

-Irish blessing-

Thank you, God, for being an amazing, mind-blowing, beyond-my-imagination God.  Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Forever and ever.

Slainte, Lisa
