Well it is all about SERVICE- Serving God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
A man named Patrick, who lived during the fifth century, was born in Scottland. He was kidnapped at the age of 16 and was brought to Ireland where he was sold into slavery. He later escaped, but returned to Ireland and was credited with bringing Christianity to its people. It is said that he used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the concept of the God Head: God the Father, his Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. March 17 is his angel anniversary. Which is why we celebrate St Patrick's Day on the 17th of March.
What an honor it is to be a Christian and to have holidays like this to continue showing our love to God the Eternal Father, his Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost by serving others.
Our family plans to get several bunches of chocolate coins, and attaching a 3 leaf shamrock tag saying on the steam, "You are worth more than gold," And on the leaves: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Then passing them out to neighbors and friends.
We would like to challenge you wonderful friends and family to help keep the legacy of St Patrick's hard work of Service alive;
To either join us in this shamrock service or to do one of your own.
Please feel free to post your ideas and successes here on our family service blog.
God Speed your Services of Love.

Today was an amazing St Patricks day for our family, each going about doing good. Makayla was up early and spent the morning serving at a ward fundraiser, helping for hours in the childrens room, and making items to donate for the auction! Then Quinn and Dylan went to the baseball fields to help with field clean up day. Mom and the little two went to practice singing at the Life of Christ Childrens choir. Sweet morning all around- made us all feel good we were helping others. Love you Mathison family- thanks for your examples! xoxo
