A
garden is not complete without
 |
Those elusive fragile creatures
that flutter from flower to flower remind me of how
on the net we go from page to page gathering our tid-bits
of data.....sometimes pausing longer here and there
when a page catches our fancy.
Butterflies have always fascinated
me. Perhaps it is their delicate beauty, but even more
I think it is their incredible "life journey" and the
analogy to what our own lives should be.
They begin as mere worms.
A bit reminiscent of a lowly existence don't you think?...
Only able to crawl but hungry for the nourishment that
enables growth.
Then at just the right moment
as if they are hearing a voice deep within their soul,
they build a cocoon, and retreat in solitude to await
their rebirth.
The transformation that takes place there is truly a
miracle. For a whole new being emerges...... beautiful
to behold, with wings to fly and a new purpose.....
to give life to it's offspring in a nurturing environment,
then live out its short life peacefully, giving pleasure
to others.
Could it be that God has here painted a lovely picture
of what our lives are to be in the rebirth of our souls
through the grace of our Savior, Jesus Christ. This
is what we Christians believe...... and in the gentle
nature of the butterfly, I only ask you to pause for
a moment and reflect on it.
