Little Flowers of Hope
There is so much hope in a little flower and so many flowers in a little hope!
Mehmet Murat Ildan
The little blue Forget Me Not. Tiny and easily overlooked but hopeful.
According to German legend, when God created all the flowers he started to name each one of them. After God named all the plants, one tiny plant was still unnamed. He called out to God saying, “Forget me not, O Lord!”. When God looked back at the tiny plant, He told the flower “This will be your name, so no one will ever forget you”.
The version of a second legend states, when God was busy giving all the flowers their colors, he missed one. He heard a tiny whisper saying, “Forget me not!” It came from a tiny little flower. God had only a little amount of blue color left, so He gave that color to this tiny little flower. Upon receiving the blue color, the flower was delighted with joy.
These legends of the Forget Me Not fill me with such warmth. A little flower not giving up on hope.
There is still hope. There is hope for mercy. There is hope for compassion. There is hope for respectfulness. There is hope in trusting. There is hope for joy.
Forget Me Not that we have HOPE!
