Happy St. Patrick's Day (a little late). Sorry it took a while we really were sick.
So the Leprechaun always comes to our house the night before St. Patrick's Day. Usually we try to lure him into a trap with Lucky Charms but mom forgot to get them and when she remembered it was Sunday. I even contemplated going out at 12:00 midnight but Samantha decided to make cup cakes instead. John Derek prepared the trap. I was going to get you a picture but the next day Michael found the trap broke in and ate the rest of the cup cake. John Derek did however leave a note:
"Can you let me sy you. No __ Yes___. if I sey you will I git 3 wishis. No__ Yes___. John Derek"
The leprechaun replied "try as hard as you can, you can't catch me."
Then he left foot prints on the paper we had stuck to the walls. (He used to leave footprints on furniture but we found it didn't always come off so we asked him a few years ago to only walk on paper and glass. Last year he left footprints that were not washable and we still have some on our window that we have never scraped off. Maybe I will get to it this year.)
Over all it was a good St. Patrick's Day. We found candy by the unused trap along with a half eaten chocolate cupcake. We then had green eggs and ham for breakfast. Off to school where I realized in all my hustle to have a great St. Patrick's Day I forgot to have Maddie where something green. At least there is always next year.
The Infinite Atonement (Illustrated Edition,) by Tad Callistar
pg. 150--"Thus, in the final moments of darkness when God the Father withdrew his Spirit and even nature itself cried out, the Savior of mankind suffered the combined burden of the cross and the burden of the Garden and bore them alone! Of this truth, he himself bore fervent testimony: "I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me. . . . And I looked, and there was none to help" (Isaiah 63:3, 5)."
I think many times in my life I am alone, but I have to wonder how much of that put on by myself. I do not have to suffer as my Savior did, He did that for me and I think that if I feel alone I need to focus on Him and my Heavenly Father and know that I am not alone and pray for the strength I need.
