An Irish Blessing

March 17 - St. Patrick's Day

Hello All

This past week, Isabel felt her connections across the sea and around Saskatchewan with friends. Just after we sent an email on her behalf to friends in Orkney, Mum read the March 7 World Day of Prayer Service written by women in Guyana in South America. An quick email response from Orkney indicated that friends there had been attending the World Day of Prayer Service using the same liturgy at their church. Mum also received several cards from friends in various places in Saskatchewan who had attended or provided leadership at similar services.

This week had two themes ~ visitors ~ watching the Brier ~ more visitors ~ cheering those green clad curlers ~ more visitors ~ YEA! Saskatchewan curlers! ~ more visitors! Thanks all of you who dropped in and discussed curling among other topics.

Awhile ago this Irish Blessing came as a greeting card to Isabel. She has viewed it numerous times and suggested that it would be a good web-link to share with her community.

And a toast to all of you with Irish heritage on this St. Patrick's Day! Just click on the link and turn up your volume.
