A few weeks ago I shared a picture of the hydrangea bloom on the left. Since then I have transplanted the hydrangea from the small pot it came in to a larger planter on my front porch. Eventually, I may plant it in my yard.

Notice the difference in the bloom color. I know that the bloom color of hydrangeas are affected by the minerals in the soil in which they planted. Therefore, if I do transplant it to the yard, the bloom color will likely change again. Nevertheless, as long as it has healthy roots, it will continue to grow and bloom.

On this Spiritual Sunday I encourage you to examine your bloom color. What is the soil like around you right now? Is the soil affecting your blooming? Does your bloom point others to Christ? Do others know you are a “new creation” because of your belief in Jesus? Has your bloom color changed? Sometimes a different bloom color is new, interesting and exciting. New color is good, as long as you are still rooted in Your savior, Jesus Christ.
