A few weeks ago a friend presented me with two bags full of bare-roots Iris plants, the same plants I had admired at her home this past spring, in need of transplanting. I was grateful for the gift; but, since we were traveling that following week, I set the bags aside in a shady location to await setting in the ground upon our return back home. A few days ago, as I walked past the bags, I noticed a flash of color. Amazingly, one of the Iris was blooming! Right there, out of the bag, this bare-roots plant was not to be denied its moment of splendor! I have always embraced a "bloom where you're planted" life philosophy, but this Iris plant was doing me one better. Rejoice in where you are, take full advantage of the gifts and opportunities that God has given you, give thanks and be grateful.
Bloom where you are, planted or not, simply bloom!
Life is Good!
