My dear friend mary gave me a purple orchid on my birthday in july 2005. Its blossoms lasted a bit over four months. The following year (2006) it flowered again and this time it had two stalks with about 7 to 9 flowers on each stalk. I felt offering them to the the blessed sacrament but thought oh, maybe I only give one stalk and keep one stalk for me. However, ancient wisdom came to me that " I should offer them all. Indeed, that's what I did.
The next year Aug (2007) it flowered and there were 2 stalks again. Amazing, the two stalks didn't stop flowering. old flowers withered but new buds come out until 2008. I was amazed that God blessed my orchids because I gave all my orchid flowers last year to Him. One day I moved it (around July 2008) and i didn't realize it was soaking in water and the orchid had died.
Simple lesson. Indeed the Lord God did bless my orchid but I made a mistake. In life, God does so many divine intervention but there are things that are left for us to take care ourselves.
We often makes mistakes by accident or wrong decisions or wrong choices or due to poor judgment. We must pray for wisdom and pray to be led always on the righteousness of God so that we will always be guided.
A quick prayer: "Ancient Spirit breath in us to direct us. Armour and the Word of God to guard us. Blood of Jesus to cover and seal us". Amen.
