An Irish Blessing...

The wind is blowing, and it looks like it is going to rain. While playing around on Facebook I began adding Flairs to my current collection. I started with C.S. Lewis flairs, looked for Ravi Zacharias, and began pondering what unique flair I could find. I remembered the Irish Blessing that my mother-in-law really loved. She had a plaque that was painted by my sister-in-law, and I thought that would be a nice one to have. I was unable to find it on a flair, but I thought it would be nice to post here.

Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
