Thank You for your kind words, dutchess. I was just about to post the following and saw your post to me :-) Prayers are greatly appreciated, and much needed.

U.S. President George W. Bush is handed a bowl of shamrock during a ceremony with Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern as first lady Laura Bush looks on in the Roosevelt room of the White House in Washington, March 17, 2004. Ahern and Bush celebrated St. Patrick's day in the White House before Bush headed to Capitol Hill for a St. Patrick's Day lunch

Wow, you and Nan sure knew how to dance ;-)

I will be going to a St. Patrick's day party on Saturday night. Always a fun time. Family and friends will be there. The Irish dancers will perform and the Bagpipers will be playing their tunes. And deadhead will be doing the Irish Jig...LOL, I do the best I can.

God Bless Our Military ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dansangel; Dutchess; Aquamarine; deadhead and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation's leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Thanks for the pings
hope your day's been wonderful

[LadyX]

Sure 'n it's a Grand Day, dutchess, when we can celebrate any Irish blood tricklin' through our veins!

This one's for you, hostesses and hosts
of The Finest Family Room:

God bless the corners of this house and all the lintel blessed,
And bless the hearth and bless the board and bless each place of rest,
And bless each door that opens wide to strangers as to kin,
And bless each crystal window pane that lets the starlight in,
And bless the rooftree overhead and every sturdy wall.
The peace of man. The peace of God.
With peace and love for all.

[deadhead]

"And you do just fine my wee bonnie lass."

LOL, and Mr. Donovan will sing "Rockaway, oh Rockaway..a little bit of Ireland in the good old USA"
