To All My Readers..... These are for you all.

Being of Irish descent I love Irish blessings. Here are some of my favourites which I give to you darling readers of my blog.





May :
you have:
A world of wishes at your command.
God and his angels close to hand.
Friends and family their love impart,
and Irish blessings in your heart!



May :
your doctor never earn a dollar out of you,
May your heart never give out,
May the ten toes of your feet steer you clear of misfortune.
And before you're much older,
May you hear much better blessings than this.



May:
flowers always line your path
And sunshine light your day
May songbirds serenade you
Every step along the way
May a rainbow run beside you
In a sky that’s always blue
And may happiness fill your heart
Each day your whole life through


May :
your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks
May your heart be as light as a song
May each day bring you bright, happy hours
That stay with you all the year long





May:
the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always 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 hollow of His hand.


May:
your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.

Look you even saw a leprechaun.

Magic sticks and canes.

I felt like posting something kind of amusing. And thanks to Saxon came up with this idea.   Below I shall tell a little about the cane or stick, who it belongs to , what its used for and give it a rating from 1-10.

1.Nanny McPhees stick
Nanny McPhee uses her stick to inflict punishments on the children under her care to teach them her "lessons."

Resulting in hilarious incidents. It has a really cool shape and your grandfather could never mistake it for his walking stick.   Rating: 7 out of 10





2.Gandalf's staff.

One cannot list all that Gandalf does with his staff.  He says he uses it as a walking stick and lamp of sorts . We know better.  It looks like an old tree root .  Rating 5 out of 10

3.Willy Wonka's cane.
Willy Wonka really just has his cane is not  for looks and to tap things it has a whistle built into it and who knows what else! . Its very striking looking  and  is sure to make you smile or gasp in surprise when you see it.  Rating 10 out of 10.










                                                   

                                                         4.Mary Poppins umbrella.

Mary Poppins umbrella is wonderful to say the least. It has a live parrot for its handle and can pull you up in the air and make you fly. providing you with the ultimate get away car.  Its a classic black umbrella what more can we say? Rating 8 out of 10

                            5.Saruman's staff.
Saruman's staff , like himself, looks and is used for evil.
 We personally don't like it and would not recommend it ,
or Saruman to anyone.
 Rating: 0








6.Yoda's wookiee stick.
Isn't it sweet? It is homey and natural looking.  Yoda uses it as a walking stick, but, when he fights he seems to have no need of it at all!
Rating 7 out of 10












7.Beckett's walking stick.
Lord Cutler Beckett's cane is used for show and to scare people. On the tip of it he has a brand in the shape of a "p". We would say don't get this cane as you will clunk and scratch floors terribly.
Rating 6 out of 10



8.Bilbo's walking stick.

Bilbo's walking stick is used to assist him in hiking over mountains. A useful feature for any would be adventurer. One thing though it it Hobbit size.  Rating 9 out of 10

Miracles, they happen.

In this day and age we are given the view that we can do things on our own.
That we don't need anyone else, that through ourselves we can achieve everything.

But, that's not true we all need someone to rely on, someone to hold and help us in times of trial, someone who understands what we're going through.
Now the obvious person to have is Jesus but Jesus works through others so by having someone , our mum , best friend spouse even.

We allow God to work in our life. We sometimes find ourselves in situations where we feel like its the end of the world and there is nothing left for us.
Its at times like this that we need to remember that miracles DO happen.

Miracles.          I suppose some people view them as old fashioned , 0ld wives tales, things of the past. That's not so. They have been blinded by the world, the greed, corruption.
Something that spoils their view of love and joy. Which is what miracles are.

Something wonderful, that is the result of love . Love which results in joy and thanksgiving.

Please pray for a miracle for Emily , who is suffering from leukemia with no response to chemotherapy .
Please pray that a miracle happens for her.    Here is a little  music video about miracles happening .   One of my all time favourites.  

Please pray for Emily.   Go to her blog and tell her your praying for her.

Its today.

Yep. This morning at 9:55 AM  I said hello to 18.     I was a little sad to say goodbye to 17, we've been such good friends and done so much together: Went on my first pilgrimage, my first ball,  seen many new movies together, and racked my brains thinking about many things. But, hey! I do that all the time!    What will 18 be like?  Fun?   I hope so.   I was thinking last night how 10 years ago I dreamed of being 18 and all I hoped it would bring.  And I started thinking what will it bring?  Will it be all I've dreamed of?   What's it going to be like to be considered and adult? And actually BE one?!?!?    Yeah, I feel like Rapunzel. So in honour of my 18th birthday here is a little song for ya to listen to while thinking about me!

TTFN

Guess What!!!!!

I'm going to


.
a



ball!!!!
Yep. Thats whats happening this weekend.   I'm really looking forward to it and will tell you all about it loves when I return!  Until then ,
Farewell!
