Day 49.  Bloom where you are planted.  Or, in the case of these cut flowers, just keep blooming.  They are beautiful, but they have reached their peak.  It's only down hill from here for them.  What a sad thought.  I don't want to go down hill.  I want to keep on blooming, keep on growing, keep on learning, and keep on being useful.  The way I see it, as long as I stay in the fertile soil of the Holy Spirit there doesn't have to be an end.  So, bloom I will.
