Keeping Silent

My delphiniums are up and blooming.  So pretty. 


Here's what convicted me in Proverbs last week:  


      Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.  Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.  A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.          (Proverbs 17:27, 28 and 18:2) 


Don't you sometimes love to hear yourself talk, or is that just me?  I love myself so much, and want everyone else to do the same (love me, that is).  Whatever I have to say is the cleverest and most worth-listening-to.  I think aloud, and everyone ought to help me do it by listening.  


Wretched man that I am!  Who will deliver me from this body of death?  Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!! (Romans 7:24-25)


So, in light of my new resolution to talk less and listen more (only by God's grace, mind you), you get to talk today.  Here's the question.  


                              What is blooming in your garden this week?
