Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hope you have a great one!

I thought today, I’d share with you some of my favorite Irish quotes…

Saint Patrick was a gen­tle­man
Who through strat­egy and stealth
Drove all the snakes from Ire­land
Here’s a drin­kee to his health!
But not too many drin­kees
Lest we lose our­selves and then…
For­get the good Saint Patrick
And see them snakes again!


And for you my friends…

Wish­ing you a rain­bow
For sun­light after show­ers—
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours—
Sham­rocks at your door­way
For luck and laugh­ter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

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.

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!

And another…
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.

And finally, from St. Patrick’s Breast Plate
Christ be with me
Christ before me
Christ behind me
Christ in me
Christ beneath me
Christ above me
Christ on my right
Christ on my left
Christ where I lie
Christ where I sit
Christ where I arise
Christ in the heart of every man
who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of every man
who speaks of me
Christ in every eye that sees me
Christ in every ear that hears me
Sal­va­tion is of the Lord.
