Irish blessings are always so much fun to read — they make you give some thought to the meaning of the blessing, and they’re typically uplifting. Do you have a favorite Irish blessing? It’s hard to choose! There are so many out there, but here are a few of my favorites:
“May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow.”
“May joy and peace surround you, contentment latch your door,
And happiness be with you now, and bless you ever more.”
“May your home be too small to hold all your friends.”
I love that last one so much I’ve shared it as a printable. Friends are so important, and to have too many to fit into your home — well, that’s a blessing! Wouldn’t you agree? I created one printable in two colors for you to use as wall décor in your home or office, or to gift to your Irish friends. The words speak truth and wish a blessing upon each of you. Score!
The word “friend” is defined in the dictionary as:
a close friend: companion, soul mate, intimate, confidante, confidant, familiar, alter ego, second self, playmate, playfellow, classmate, schoolmate, workmate; ally, associate; sister, brother; best friend, kindred spirit, bosom buddy, bosom friend; informal pal, chum, sidekick, crony, main man, mate, buddy, bud, amigo, compadre, homeboy, homegirl, homie; archaic compeer.
I always smile when I see kindred spirit. It makes me think of the Anne of Green Gables series. Have you seen it? Anne believed in those rare occasions when you had a special bond or connection with someone. For her, it was Diane. I would say that as I’ve gotten older, I have a handful of kindred spirits and an abundance of acquaintances. True friends are often harder to come by these days, but I do appreciate those who have proven a loyalty beyond words, who pick me up when I fall down, and who cheer me on when I’m just about ready to give up! I am overwhelmingly blessed, and I hope you can say the same!
Ready to grab your printable(s)? Sized at 8”x10”, there are two color options: white and cream! I hope it finds a special place in your home — and the proverb finds a special place in your heart!
