Orchid Flower

Why do I have an orchid? I’ll explain why. I’m not thrilled to see Jesus suffering. Instead of looking at a picture of Him, being beaten while dragging a cross, I prefer to see this beautiful flower.

I was very busy today with bank business which took me a bit longer than expected. I was late for my massage appointment, but got some treatment, though.

Late afternoon, close to 6:00, I visited my  favorite church hoping it was open. It was! It’s crucifix was covered with a purple shroud. A religious service was going on, so I stayed for the ceremony, recalling what  Jesus had done for us. He knew what was going to happen to Him, but proceeded with great courage. Thank you, Dear Jesus, for what you did!

Since it was getting late, my husband and I tried IHOP for the first time. We got an excellent deal. Two meals for the price of one. Jesus rewarded us for visiting Him. Great!
