Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 It has been a day for green, that is  for sure! We are so glad to begin to see a little bit of green grass coming up on those hills! When the girls got up this morning and realized St. Patrick's Day was here, they were excited. Of course, we learned about St. Patrick today and how he shared the good news about Jesus with those around him in Ireland. The story is told that one of the ways he taught people about the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit was through using a clover with 3 leaves.

 
Here were our clover for the day. Rachel wrote her own verse on hers and the big sisters took charge of making one for Bethany too.
Late this afternoon, we had to run up to Staunton for a car repair. We stopped for a treat of ice cream for St. Patrick's Day. They had green mint oreo ice cream. While I knew Rachel would eat it, there was no way Bekah would. They ended up sharing raspberry ice cream together.

 They got to order their own ice cream

 and enjoyed it thoroughly!

 Here are the Girls in Green today.

 

 Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!

 “The Lord bless you and keep you; 
 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you; 
 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’
Numbers 6:24-26
