Irish Blessing and Sayings

As I'm sitting here, entering my first post on my blog, i'm not really sure what to say. Then I remember the reason I am blogging in the first place, an Irish Blessing that I wanted to share with you at the end of this post. So I am going share some of my favorite Irish Blessings and sayings with you.

• Beagán agus a rá go maith. Say little but say it well.
  
• We attract what we love and what we fear.

• Bricks and mortar make a house but the laughter of children makes a home.

• May you be poor in misfortunes

and rich in blessings.

May you know nothing but happiness

from this day forward.

• May good luck be your friend

In whatever you do

And may trouble be always

A stranger to you.

• May your blessings out number

The Shamrocks that grow

And may trouble avoid you

Wherever you go.

• May you always have

Walls for the winds,

A roof for the rain,

Tea beside the fire,

Laughter to cheer you,

Those you love near you,

And all that your heart might desire!

• A Wish for a Friend

Wishing you a rainbow

For sunlight after showers—

Miles and miles of Irish smiles

For golden happy hours—

Shamrocks at your doorway

For luck and laughter too,

And a host of friends that never ends

Each day your whole life through!

These are only a handful of the many I absolutely love. Some of the others are celtic songs, such as "The Sky, the Dawn, and the Sun", "Caledonia", and "The Blessing".

Now to part, I leave you with another Irish Blessing:

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

The sun shine warm upon your face,

The rain fall soft upon your fields,

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
