Darcy Donavan Instagram – 🍀🍀HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY 🍀🍀 If you read the story of St. Patrick, you will find that at age 16 he was kidnapped and taken to a land he did not know – Ireland. Now he could have been angry, despondent and eventually given in to defeat; but Patrick did not do this. He became an overcomer as he persevered. He was taken and told to tend the sheep. It was there that he prayed, grew in his faith, and walked in love. What do we do when we find ourselves in captivity? We can stay in it or choose the latter. Patrick went on to become a Bishop. If we think about it, most of us would either be angry or depressed if we found ourselves having been kidnapped and never knowing if we would see our loved ones again. Patrick, even though he was a teenager when he was captured, he felt compassion for the people who made him a slave. Once he had gotten away from them, he could have stayed away, but he went back to make a difference. St. Patrick ministered in Ireland for 29 years, baptized over 100, 000 people and built 300 churches. If we can get it in our minds that we can be world-changers too, then we will also have a legacy to pass on. AS YOU CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK TODAY, REMEMBER HIS STORY AND KNOW THAT WHATEVER TRIALS YOU ARE FACING, YOU CAN OVERCOME THEM AS LONG AS YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO IT! HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! BIG HUGS, DARCY 🍀
