Millstreet horse show is famous for many things especially the hospitality and relaxed atmoshpere throughout. The views are also spectacular with Clara mountain looking so well in the background.

‘Letting God in is something that has to be done many times every day. Each time we muck things up we can try to let God in, always starting again – and again and again! – to step out of our own inadequacy and meet with love whatever comes along.’ ~Angela Graham

Our Celtic ancestors had no problem letting God into their lives. For them God was already there and everything they did was an acknowledgment that God was with them every moment and every step of their daily journey. Their lives were a living prayer, almost as natural as breathing. We have since moved a long way in the other direction, choosing more structured and organised religion to make a connection with God. But today there is also a swing back to our roots in Celtic spirituality and how we can find God in many of the things we do each day. Rather than separating what we believe in, it is good to tie it in to the humdrum of our daily lives. We are human and God wants to be where we are, in the good and uplifting days but also the dark, frustrating and difficult days that we sometimes go through. Our story is unique, personal and constantly changing. By letting God in, we make sure we are always near and surrounded by love. This is always a good place to be.
