Default The Butterfly

I have had this story post on my bulletin board for years and today I read it again...such a good reminder. I am going through a stressful time and even though I pray about the things that stress me...I sometimes just grumble...Oh...I hope some fluid is getting squeezed out of my body so I will emerge a healthy butterfly.

Thank you. I never ever fully understood why we need trials and tribulations to grow. Now I know.

If I look back over some of my trials...I am grateful for them...not really looking forward to the next one...but I am sure God will be with me!

I sent it to my Facebook page with a comment about whether we are doing the right thing by helping some people out, instead of them helping themselves. It is all right to guide, but not do.

Very pretty. Butterflies are timeless and will endure. Never will be out of style in the years to come.
