In a field of three leaf clovers, it is possible to find a four-leaf clover.
Although it's awesome that I found a four leaf clover in the middle of St. Stephen's Green in Dublin's City Centre, I'm partial to three leaf clovers. Reason being, St. Patrick used them to explain the trinity to the Irish people.
Today, I got ready while listening to Irish music. I wore a shirt that said, "I heart Ireland," wore green shoes from Penney's in Dublin, a necklace from Accessorize in Kilkenny, and my claddagh ring. I drank Barry's tea, with milk, of course. A guy from Ireland and a guy who spent last summer in Ireland were busking in the Great Hall, singing classic Irish tunes. (I left them the Barry's tea bag I had in my purse. Hah.) Seeing everyone wear green, and feeling very proud to have lived in Ireland for a brief time, St. Patrick's day quickly became one of my favorite holidays. In all the excitement, it is easily forgotten that the reason for today's celebration is God's call on St. Patrick's life to serve the Irish people.
Cheers to you, St. Paddy.
