ST. PATRICK'S DAY

"The Lord is the stronghold of my life." Psalms 27:1

Last Summer I had the privilege of visiting the beautiful country of
Ireland. It's one of the prettiest places I've ever seen. As beautiful as
the scenery is, that is only topped by its people; they are kind, friendly
and happy.

It was one of the best trips I've ever had, even when I was hanging upside
down, at great height, to kiss the Blarney Stone.

To walk on the same land as Saint Patrick, and to see what he saw, causes
a longing in me to go back someday.

Saint Patrick was the patron saint of Ireland. Born in Britain of a
Romanized family, he was captured at the age of 16 by Irish raiders, and
carried into slavery in Ireland. He spent six years as a herdsman, before
escaping from his master and being reunited with his family in Britain.
Called in a dream to bring Christianity to the Irish, he returned to
Ireland and journeyed far and wide, baptizing chiefs and kings and
converting entire clans. One popular legend says that he explained the
notion of the Holy Trinity using the shamrock, now the national flower of
Ireland. He is also said to have rid Ireland of snakes.

Many, today, are wearing green, celebrating with the Irish.

Today, we are celebrating what real faith can do in one man’s or woman's
life.

On this St. Patrick's Day, what are you called in a dream to do?

God gives you a go-green-light to proceed ahead in faith.

Like St. Patrick, you are not locked in by circumstances. You are no
longer a slave to your past.

Like St. Patrick, you are not vindictive or unforgiving to people that
have treated you wrongly. You rise in your spirituality and decide to help
them. You pray for everyone that has enslaved you, in any way, during your
life.

When you are able to pray instead of hate, you rid your own mind and life
of the snakes of negativity.

Like Saint Patrick, you release from your thinking any limitations that
you have consciously or unconsciously accepted for yourself. As you think
about the infinite strength of God, you feel new wholeness and energy
throughout your being, because, like Saint Patrick, you know that you are
one with God.

On this St. Patrick's Day, the positive life-giving activity of God is now
expressed through you. You know that, in God, you have strength to
overcome any condition or habit that has enslaved you. As you rely on God,
you feel God's healing strength in your body and life.

You feel new strength of purpose on this day of faith. God-inspired ideas
are revealed to you in your dreams about your future. Opportunities for
constructive activity are now opened up to you.

Like Saint Patrick, you are ready to meet the challenges of every day. No
matter what decision may be necessary, no matter what wisdom or
understanding you may need, you know that in all things, the Lord is your
strength.

On this St. Patrick's Day, you celebrate by releasing from your thinking
any limitations that you may have accepted about yourself, and you
continue the celebration by releasing from your thinking any limitations
that you may have accepted about others. You see yourself as strong and
ready to do great things, through the power of God. You also see others as
strong and ready to do great things, through the power of God within them.

I wish you a very happy St. Patrick's Day. I pray that every time you see
the color green, today, that you remember and recall that God is giving
you a go-green-light to proceed in faith and with God's help.



God Bless You! Make it a GREAT day!
Rev. Christopher Ian Chenoweth
