Good evening to you. It is such a beautiful day here. Cool yet sunny. I was walking in my yard and saw some clover growing so I stopped, sat down and tried my hardest to find a four leaf one. I instantly thought of many things. The more I looked the more I needed to be looking. My mind went into a hundred directions during that few moments of my searching. I finally said " God, do you not want me to find one?" As I got up, I noticed another patch of clover just a small distance away from the first one. God spoke to me and He said" Not always is there magic, nor luck the first time you try. Never give up, it will come."
I didn't find the four leaf clover today, but one day I will. Maybe it is really there, but just covered up at the moment. When I do, I will instantly remember...
Have a great evening all...

In Irish tradition the Shamrock or Three-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.
History of the four leaf clover:
The four leaf clover is a universally accepted symbol of good luck with its origin ages old. According to legend, Eve carried a four leaf clover from the Garden of Eden.
"The clovers also occupied a position in the cultural life of early peoples. White clover (T. repens L.) in particular was held in high esteem by the early Celts of Wales as a charm against evil spirits." Clover Science and Technology". N.L. Taylor, 1985.
Druids held the 4 leaf clover in high esteem and considered them a sign of luck. In 1620, Sir John Melton wrote: "If a man walking in the fields find any four-leaved grass, he shall in a small while after find some good thing.
The mystique of the four leaf clover continues today, since finding a real four leaf clover is still a rare occurrence and omen of good luck.
