What IS a blessing? Well, the kind of blessings we’re talking about today are the invoking of God’s favor upon a person. While I’m not big on the luck of the Irish, I love Irish blessings! No country invokes God’s favor upon others quite like the Irish!
Since it’s just one day past St. Patrick’s Day, I wanted to take this opportunity to invoke God’s favor upon you! Fasten your seat belt… here we go!
28 May God give you heaven’s dew and earth’s richness— an abundance of grain and new wine.29 May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed. – Genesis 27:28-29

Is there a wedding in your future? Here’s a beautiful marriage blessing:
OH… written in the key of E… ugh. Good for a guitar player – difficult for a piano player. LOL! I could play it… but I wouldn’t LIKE it.
Here’s a beautiful poem by Lucinda Berry Hill:
We are blessed by God and in turn we bless others.
And last, but certainly not least – this beautiful Irish prayer. I pray this for each of you!
I hope and pray you have a wonderful, blessed week! 🙂
