The home my family is renting was established by a woman who must have loved plants and flowers. What a treat for someone like me who shares such loves! While wandering around yesterday I was struck by the humanity I found among the growing things.
Quiet and humble but ever so fragrant.
Tender and fragile but filled with potential.
Fully mature and bearing much fruit.
Among community, a thriving.
Standing out among the rest, a show of glory.
Lowly but unique, touched with certain grace.
Misunderstood but valuable.
Friendly, inviting, unassuming.
A quiet beauty stemming from purity.
Were you reminded of someone who fits a flower and description above? Encourage them today -- maybe they aren't feeling known or purposeful just now. Wherever you find yourself today, be encouraged to know you are put there on purpose, for a purpose. However humble or glorious, BLOOM!
