We are God's chosen people.

God calls us to clothe ourselves with compassion.

And to put on kindness.

He commands us to be humble. 

He humbles us when we start to get proud.

The Lord shows us gentleness and mercy.

And He calls us to be gentle and merciful to others.

God is patient with me and asks me to be patient with those around me.

Clothe Yourselves with Compassion

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. — Colossians 3:12 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face;
And the rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
