The thistle is wearing snow-caps today, and I think it is the most beautiful headdress. It is made more beautiful knowing that beneath the spotless caps there are seeds that the Lord will cause to grow and a parable of righteousness created in the heart.

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.

- Isaiah 61:10-11
