Bloom where you are planted!

By June 17, 2016No Comments

Have you ever heard the expression “Bloom where you are planted?”

Stop and think about what that really means. In my mind, it means be your best no matter where God has you.

Sometimes we are planted in sand blooming.

But God calls us to be our best at all times. I don’t know about you, but as much as I love the beauty of spring, my allergies give me a fit. Blooming where you are planted is taking the good with the bad. It is enjoying the beautiful flowers while blowing my nose for the fortieth time in a day.

And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Matthew 6:28-29 (ESV)

I hope you will take time to enjoy all the beautiful things around you that are blooming this spring. I hope you will take time to give thanks to the Father who gives life to all things, and He is wearing His gardening gloves!

If every flower bloomed all year long, we would not appreciate Spring nearly as much! May God bless you all this summer, and may you bloom where you are planted!

I love you all,

Dana Fox
