Where To Put Your Hope

A psalm and some flowers to brighten your day.

My heart is not proud, Lord,
    my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
    or things too wonderful for me.
But I have calmed and quieted myself,
    I am like a weaned child with its mother;
    like a weaned child I am content.

Israel, put your hope in the Lord
    both now and forevermore.

Psalm 131 (NIV)

Put your hope in the Lord and you will bloom just like my lilacs.
