Several years ago friends posted shamrocks in my yard on St. Patrick’s Day. Minnesota Prairie Roots file photo March 2015.
BECAUSE ST. PATRICK’S DAY falls on a Sunday this year, I feel inclined to share with you a post I wrote for Indiana-based Christian publisher Warner Press. I’ve been blogging for Warner for nearly a year now and became the blog coordinator there in January.
This opportunity with Warner Press has blessed me in multiple ways by growing my writing ministry, faith family and personal faith and also financially.
As part of my job, I develop blog post ideas with the marketing team, then assign or write those posts. I assigned myself a St. Patrick’s Day blog post that emphasizes blessings over luck, a word often associated with this Irish celebration.
So in the spirit of the Irish, even though I’m 100 percent German, I invite you to click here and read my post, Redefining Luck as Blessings. Feel free to comment. Scroll down a bit and you will find the comments section.
And to you, my dear readers, thank you for blessing me with your presence here, for appreciating my blog, for connecting and for creating a sense of community that I value. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

~*~ Happy St. Patrick’s Day ~*~ Wishing you many blessings today and ALWAYS!
Thank you, Dawn. May blessings abound in your life, too.
Your words are so inspirational. Love this post. Thank you!
Thank you, Dawn, so sweet of you to say so.
I changed from luck to blessing in my vocabulary years ago, feeling the same way you describe in your blog. Thanks for sharing.
The words definitely hold different meanings and, for me, it’s important to recognize that difference.
Blessings My Friend 🙂 I married into an Irish Family and it has been fun learning about their history and traditions. May Your Beer Only Be Green Once a Year on St. Patrick’s Day – ha!
Thank you. I don’t think I’ve ever drank green beer…
Two beautiful posts. Thank you for being a blessing in my life.
Thank you. I believe we all have the capabilities to be those blessings.
