The grass on the ground is showing some signs of drying in the summer heat! But not these flowers!
It is a fascinating sight because these flowers remain exposed to the sun all through the day and gets watered only on alternate days. Yet these flowers do not show the signs of summer heat! Instead they have even honey for the butterfly!
These flowers carry a protective property in their genetics!
We humans too have such protective strength within us. Yesterday I met with a family of two children with autistic behaviour. The father recently died after a second real transplant. I vaguely suggested that the mother considers having one of the children on a residential care at least for a short time for respite. But she mentioned, 'God is my strength and I shall overcome even this challenge'!
We are gifted with such an overcoming spirit! About three million people are affected by extreme drought conditions in Maharashtra. They get water once a week! Some walk ten kilometres to get their water supply!
There is something unusual about human instinct of courage, comfort and confidence! This is God's gift to humankind!
