Four Leaf Clover

Mmim

 

In Irish tradition the Shamrock or 3-leaf Clover represents the Holy Trinity: one leaf for the Father, one for the Son and one for the Holy Spirit. When a Shamrock is found with the fourth leaf, it represents God's Grace.

How many times have you found a four leaf clover? Have you ever looked down and just seen one right there, sitting in a patch of clover?

No matter how many times I find one I always pick it and save it. One can never have too much luck…

I found a site that tells you how to find a four leaf clover. I never knew there was a method to this.

I also found out a little bit of information about these lucky clovers that I didn’t know.

Do you know what each leaf stands for?

One leaf is for FAITH...     The second for HOPE...

The third for LOVE...         And the fourth for LUCK!

Since where I live it is still rather chilly and the clover has not had a chance to sprout up yet, I did a little searching for four leaf clovers online… and I found a bunch of all different kinds.

Even though I am only like a quarter percent Irish, I like St. Patrick’s Day.

Something about the day is magical, maybe because of the leprechauns.

My kids would come home from school with leprechaun traps and set them up in hopes of catching one. Somehow they always managed to escape but left evidence of them being there. The girls would come rushing in my room to show me the green sparkles the leprechauns left behind.

(Would have been nice if they left a token gold piece or two…..)
