Matthew 5:16
"Bloom where you're planted" (you've heard it said) whither you're in a weed patch, or a flower bed. Whither you were carefully sown where you are, or simply blown in from afar.
Joseph was transplanted by his brothers one day - they just wanted to get him out-of-the-way. Egypt wasn't a rose garden, but Joseph bloomed there, and his brothers were pardoned.
Bloom where you're planted, where ever that may be, and you'll be a beautiful example for the world to see.

Yes this is a perfect place for me to reply. We live I a mobile home park, and many of the families that live here like everyone need to hear about our Jesus Christ. Well, God has blessed me with a talent of teaching the young, so this summer I am going to start up my backyard bible club. When I start with the children, then I pray that I can reach out to the other members of the families. In fact, our neighbors had to be evicted and their daughter is into drugs and very much into many men, so it looks like they might be moving back in, if they do I have told God in my quite time’s that it’s in his hands to allow this to happen. If they do my bible club will be used for God’s glory. Amen
