Before me, Beside me
Christ be with me, Christ be within me
Christ behind me, Christ before me
Christ beside me, Christ to win me
Christ to comfort me, Christ above me
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger
Christ in hearts of all that love me
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger
– St. Patrick, Irish cleric
This Gaelic prayer is deep and beautiful. May the love of Christ surround you today. Blessings, Lisa
Blessing in the Midst
It’s easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song
But the man worthwhile is the one who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years.
And the smile that is worth its salt
Is the smile that shines through the tears.
~Irish, Unknown Author
I was moved by this blessing/poem today, and it encouraged me to keep smiling, keep singing, keep hoping…through trouble, through pain, through hard times. Because life is good, God is loving, and joy can be found, right now. Blessings for a good weekend, Lisa
