The flowers from this orchid plant lasts a month or more once fully bloom. In fact even in flower vase it lasts three weeks or more if we take care of them well!
Flowers are known to be fragile! But it does not mean that they are brittle or devoid of a character. Some flowers defy the wind and storm and stay in the stalk without any sign of stress. I noticed this in these flowers in our courtyard.
This brings home the strength it is endowed with! It is the fragile and the weak the creator God has endowed with greater enduring capacity.
St Paul in his confession did say that, that ' It is when I am weak, I am strong'! It is in our weakness our strength is enhanced. It is when we are in quiet acceptance of of our exhausting resources God adds more resourcefulness to our lives!
The water drops remaining on the petals for a long time after rain is an illustration of how the flowers receive protection from a sudden exposure to the bright sunlight after a rain!
Our lives are protected because God watches over our lives!
