Blooming Pots

Year 7-Day 116: Today, I am grateful for blooming pots.

All around the neighborhood, bursts of color are starting to appear. Pots are popping up. The assortment of flowers is always interesting. What one neighbor has great success with growing, another does not. 

Pots are a great way to grow flowers, because we can move them!  If the sun is wrong or the shade to long, the flower pot can be relocated.

The Love of My Life watches the pots in front of our garage all summer. He moves them, turns them and mixes them up as he sees fit. They all get slightly different sun/shade hours. Pots are moveable soil that allows us to find the right light. 

Sometimes we have to move! There are times we have to do something different to gain different results. One of my favorite Albert Einstein quotes is the definition of insanity: 

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein

Sometimes we have to change up the flowers or move the pot to bear the fruit we want to see. 

As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience. -Luke 8:15  

If the soil is good...the water is ample for the plants need... and the sun to shade ratio works, the flower pots will bear glorious fruit. Unlike things planted in the ground, we can move pots around. We have to be patient and consider the seed needs and the sun requirements in our choosings. 

When we have a burning desire to be successful and are willing to invest the time, the flower pots will bloom. Patience and proper care prevail! I am getting excited for the season.

Today, I am grateful for blooming pots.
