Bloom Where You Are Planted





Beauty sometimes shows up in the strangest places.  
Butterfly milkweed just started blooming here, 
and there's one place I look for it every year.





Sure enough, it showed up again this year in this hostile environment,
growing right out of the rock at the side of the highway.

It probably doesn't long for another place of existence, 
as we humans often do,
but contents itself with bringing beauty to the place it was assigned.

The God who gives us life, 
and orchestrates such things as the time and place of our birth,
does so for a specific purpose:





And to those who seek Him, He gives a promise:

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

Jeremiah 29:13
