The Christmas Flower

Compared to Pierre's big leaves and bright petals, Paco seemed an ordinary flower. During this festive Christmas season, maybe the missionary did make a mistake to placing him on display for tomorrow's service to honor the baby Jesus birth. He was not as majestic as Pierre. Paco knew he made the little girl smile every morning; maybe his purpose was to make the little girl smile during this very special day once more. How else could the baby Jesus use a common, local flower?
