God named all the plants when a tiny one cried out,
"Forget-me-not, Oh Lord."
God replied, "That shall be your name."
-German Legend
The Christ Child was sitting on Mary's lap one day and said that He wished future generations could see her eyes.He touched her eyes and then waved his hand over the ground and blue forget-me-nots appeared.
-Another Legend
I thought about how every person really has a strong desire to have purpose and to leave their mark on this world. Someone may read this today and feel insignificant and discouraged. Take heart. You have not been forgotten. You have much to give. Think of the Forget-me-not and gaze upon the delicate beauty of its bloom. You are noticed. You are important. Do not give up hope. The seemingly quiet seasons with prayers unanswered is simply the rich plot of your heart awaiting blossoms to burst forth bringing rich color to the world.
What a beautiful post! --so interesting to hear those legends. Your drawing has a nice rhythm to it-- lovely flowers!
