CHAPTER 4
THE FLOWER
That's when he saw a dry flower. He felt sad because the plant dried up and nobody was taking care of it. He felt pain deep inside his heart.
Diligently, he removed the grass, the weeds, and the dry leaves that surrounded the plant. Then he proceeded to soak his towel with water and pour it all over the entire plant the same way he poured the water over his head and face.
Every day the mailman looked at the plant with hopes that the plant would flourish again. Every day the mailman tenderly took care of the plant.
A Bible verse came to his mind, and he quoted it. "And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won't He more surely cares for you?" (Matthew 6:30)
He knew God took care of him when he needed him most. At that moment, he knew that the plant was going to live.
A few days later, the mailman observed that the plant was flourishing. He saw a flower bud and green leaves on the flower stem.
With great emotion and joy, he smiled and exclaimed, "Thank you, God! You did it."
