Bloom where you are planted

This is a sign I have hanging on one of our walls in the house. Looks pretty doesn't it, but what does it mean to "bloom, where you are planted", honestly the more I ponder on this the more I realize that to "bloom where you are planted" is sure a wise thing to do but sometimes a difficult one. First of all we need to accept that we are planted in a place and that the place where we are planted is a place where we can bloom. There have been times where I wasn't happy about the place I was, where I really just wanted to be somewhere else. A place I definitly didn't want to bloom, or maybe thought I couldn't bloom. And yet the sign says; Bloom where you are planted, not a command, suggestion or idea, but a promise. The promise that there is possibility to bloom, that there is a way to be found for you to bloom even in the places you think you can't. Imagine that!!! Lord, thank you for the promise, please let me bloom in the place where I am planted right now, make my roots go deep and let my flowers be big, bright and sweet smelling, for the people around me to see and enjoy!
