Psalm 131
O
Lord, I am not proud; I have no haughty looks.
I
do not occupy myself with great matters, or with things that are too
hard for me.
But
I still my soul and make it quiet, like a child upon its mother’s
breast; my soul is quieted within me.
O
Israel, wait upon the Lord, from this time forth for
evermore.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end. Amen.

talk to Sandra. This booklet should be available the first Sunday in

tie in to the specific seasons of the church year and other themes.
