Happy St Patrick’s Day🍀
We were on a short get away in a little touristy town in Indiana. Even though its a few hours north of where we live the days have been about 74. The trees looked really bare but the daffodils were out. I will catch up, hopefully soon!
Upon arriving home I see that the daffodil bulbs I planted are starting to pop out. They were slower maybe because this is their first year. I planted tulips too but they come out later I think
The Prayer of St. Patrick🌷
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.
I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me
Afar and a near,
Alone or in a multitude.
Christ shield me today
Against wounding
Christ 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 when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through the mighty strength
Of the Lord of creation.🌷
Goodnight everyone. Have a great weekend!

Looks like a good outing and how lovely to see daffodils in bloom. I had about 4 inches popping out of the ground a week ago when we left town, so maybe they'll be blooming when we get back in town. Loved the first Irish prayer, both are nice; but the first one called out to me. Beautiful sunset, you really captured it.
