Count Your Blessings
|
 |
 |
|
Count your blessings instead of your crosses,
Count your gains instead of your looses,
Count your joys instead of your woes,
Count your friends instead of your foes,
Count your courage instead of your fears,
Count your laughs instead of your tears,
Count your kind deeds instead of our mean,
Count your health instead of your wealth,
Count on God instead of yourself.

An Irish Blessing
|
|
|
|
May there always be work for your hands to do
May your purse always hold a coin or two
May the sun always shine upon your window pane
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near to you and
May God fill your hearts with gladness to cheer you.

A Hylanders Blessing
|
|
|
|
May your heart stay as active
and young as your mind.
May your kindness to others
be returned ten-fold, in kind.
May life's adversities be
light, and easy to bear.
May joy and peace quickly
dry up each tiny tear.
May you always be able
to count on one good friend.
May God's Grace light up
your road, to its very end.

Traditional Blessing
|
|
|
|
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again
May God hold you
In the hollow of his hand.
May the Sacred Three pour upon you mildly
and gererously more and more forever.
