“At bakit kayo nababalisa tungkol sa pananamit? Isipin ninyo kung paano tumutubo ang mga bulaklak sa parang; hindi sila nagtatrabaho ni gumagawa ng damit.”

Mateo 6:28

Niregaluhan si Risa ng kanyang anak ng hikaw. Kakaiba ang hikaw dahil hugis sunflower. Naalala tuloy niya ang nature ng sunflower. Mula pagsikat ng araw hanggang paglubog nito nakaharap sila palagi sa araw at lagi silang nakatayo ng matuwid. It was a good reminder to Risa na kahit ano pa ang kanyang pinagdadaanan, pag nag-focus siya sa source of light and life, when she looks to the Lord, di lang siya mabubuhayan, she will also remain standing.

Hindi lang ang sunflower ang mapagkukunan ng aral. How about roses? One of the most popular blooms which when given as a gift, is often a declaration of devotion and love. Pero huwag ka, maraming tinik ang bulaklak na ito! Tila isang paalala na mahalagang maging mapanuri. Pay attention. Not all things that catch your eye are beneficial.

How about the mysterious lotus flower that closes at night tapos lumulubog siya sa putikang ilog. Mas maputik, mas malago ang bumubukang bulaklak tuwing umaga. Kamangha-mangha ang katatagan. Kahit anong putik ang harapin ng lotus flower, babangon at babangon siyang muli. Not even the darkest situations can keep it from blooming.

Kaya pala sinabihan ni Lord ang kanyang mga alagad na pag-isipan at tingnan ang mga bulaklak. Marami palang makabuluhang mensahe ang hatid ng mga ito. Let’s not forget the wild lilies. These colorful flowers appear in unexpected places — a reminder of how the Lord can turn barren places into fruitful fields. Si Lord din ang nagdidilig at nagpapalago sa kanila. If God will care enough for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, how much more will He watch over those He loves.
