I don’t think we have a speck of Irish in our ancestry, but that does not keep us from observing the day with some corned beef and cabbage. If good Saint Patrick knew what the day commemorating his death turned out to be, he’d want to start banishing snakes again.
And now, for some quotes to feed your souls:
God alone spreads out the heavens,
and treads on the waves of the sea.
Job 9:8
I’ve been reading through Job again; it’s a very poetic book filled with little jewels like that one.
In the absence of any other truth,
the thumb alone would convince me
of God’s existence.
Sir Isaac Newton
And Newton was no slouch when it came to scientific thought. Consider the design and utility of your thumb and praise the One who made it.
Imagination bodies forth
the forms of things unknown,
the poet’s pen turns them into shapes
and gives to airy nothing
a local habitation and a name.
William Shakespeare
Just look at what Tolkien did in creating the world of Middle Earth and its inhabitants and languages. From airy nothing, he gave us hobbits, the Mines of Moria, Gandalf and Frodo.
A house with daffodils in it
is a house lit up,
whether or not the sun be shining outside.
A.A. Milne
There were small bunches of daffodils on sale at the grocery store this morning. I looked at them and thought about getting some but did not. Today would have been a good day to have a house lit up by daffodils. So ours got lit up by carrots instead:
Faith and begorrah, I might have to delete this in the morn!

It was tasty, too!

Yum! Your corned beef and veggies looks so good. We are having ours tomorrow, a day late since Gene was gone for a meeting today and had a bigger meal at noon, there. We have soup supper at church tomorrow evening, so corned beef will be at noon. Not usually how we do it, but what works tomorrow. We don’t have any Irish ☘️ in us, so guess we can get by with it. 😁

I’ll have to find out from you how you usually do yours. I hardly ever make it.
