Believe it or not St. Patrick's Day is not really about leprechauns and giant mugs of green beer. It actually a day to celebrate the life of the first man to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the polytheistic culture of Ireland. He also is famous for using the illustration of the shamrock as a way to explain the Christian doctrine of the Trinity.
We were so glad to celebrate with our sweet friend Mary Margaret!
Isaiah 52:6-8
6 Therefore my people will know my name;
therefore in that day they will know
that it is I who foretold it.
Yes, it is I."
7 How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
who bring good tidings,
who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
"Your God reigns!"
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices;
together they shout for joy.
When the LORD returns to Zion,
they will see it with their own eyes."
Isaiah 52:6-8
6 Therefore my people will know my name;
therefore in that day they will know
that it is I who foretold it.
Yes, it is I."

together they shout for joy.
When the LORD returns to Zion,
they will see it with their own eyes."
Any day the good news of Jesus' love is shared and received by the hearers is a day worthy of being celebrated. So let's celebrate our God who loves us and honor those who are willing to give up everything to tell others about His unending love!
