Flowers and Life

So i went to work today and learned a spiritual lesson. Uncle Steve was teaching me how to design an arrangement. I was a little nervous because i was afraid that i would mess up so badly he'd have to throw away the flowers ( i'm not very good at cutting the steams). So while i was trying to design a thought came to me " as long as i do the arrangement from the instructions he gives me it will turn out alright." And then i realized how true that is in life. If we only would follow God's instructions then everything would turn out alright. But so many times we try to design our lives the way we think they should be. when really the way we are designing it, it will fall apart in a few hours. Just like arrangements. If you don't put the flowers in right then the flowers will start falling out and then you have a big mess. I've made a lot of "designing errors" in my life. So many times I've tried to do something my way and then watch it fall apart. But then when i do it God's way, it's so much better. Who knew that you could learn something from flowers?
