HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY


Two red heads wearing green -- what could be more Irish?

We enjoyed a special Irish dinner, including corn beef, Irish soda bread, carrots & green milk!

And a special treat for Eric -- real Irish butter. He had a hard time convincing us that it tastes different than regular butter :)

Beyond shamrocks, leprechauns and pots of gold, we remembered the true story of St. Patrick. He was a missionary to Ireland, telling the people there about Jesus. He used the three-leaf clover to represent the trinity -- Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sunshine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again, may God
hold you in the small of His hand.
