"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
Ack-ack-ack-ack! Today is National Spinach Day and who better to be the spokesman for spinach than Popeye! However, today got me thinking about what Popeye used the spinach for. It wasn't merely to get his daily serving of veggies - Popeye used his spinach to gain strength. When times are tough and nothing seems to be going right, what do you use to gather strength? In times of challenge, how do you become strong?

I'm Irish… and on this St. Patrick's Day, I would like to wish everyone bright and joyous tidings with a traditional Irish blessing (coincidentally, it is the closing to an upcoming wedding ceremony I am officiating on March 20th). May the meaning of this hour be fulfilled through the days and years to come. May the love of this man and this woman, their unity of spirit, grow deeper and stronger in the uncertainties and changes of life they will share. Loving each other, may they love all persons. Trusting each other, may they learn to trust life. May their love reach out to the love of all, that their lives may bless all whose lives they touch. May they find comfort together in shared hours of shadow, as well as in the bright sunshine of joy. May they be to each other both strong and gentle. May all who follow their lives with interest and affection have cause to rejoice not alone in their happiness, but in their brave and generous living, which makes life beautiful and significant. HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!
