Day 24 - Shamrocks

Verse of the Day:

Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Tomorrow many will celebrate St. Patricks Day. The day marks the anniversary of the death of Saint Patrick. I don't know alot about St. Patrick. I do know that he used the shamrock to help to explain the Trinity to unbelievers in Ireland. Some times I think like many holidays, we have lost focus of why it is celebrated. It is a Christian holiday honoring a man that dedicated his life to following the call to spread the Good News. As you celebrate, where green and maybe a shamrock, but remember that we are celebrating the gifts one man gave many.
Many people talk about four leaf clovers and the good luck they bring. Of course they are good luck - just think a four leaf clover adds you into the relationship of the Trinity. Top of the morning to you all!
