Erin go Bragh!


My kids and I love celebrating St. Patrick's Day!  To be honest, my hubby thinks I'm a bit over the top...but that's OK.  The story of St. Patrick inspires me. He's a Christian hero!
A few things we can learn from St. Patrick:
God cares for us and provides for us in whatever situations we find ourselves in.
God uses what was intended for evil to accomplish GOOD.
Prayer draws us closer to the Lord.
God can use our willingness to do what He asks of us
to accomplish great things.

As we celebrate Patrick this year by wearing green and eating green foods and dancing some Irish jigs, let's remember that GREEN symbolizes the eternal LIFE we have in Jesus Christ...Thank you Lord!  THAT is a reason to celebrate!!!

St. Patty's Sweet & Salty Popcorn treat
4-6 cups popped popcorn
1/2 bag Fritos corn chips
1 bag white chocolate chips, melted
Add a few drops of green food coloring to the melted chocolate chips, 
then stir everything together until well coated.
Add M&Ms last.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
