Loving butterflies ;)


Well, by now you should realise that I LOVE butterflies!! Hmmm....I can't remember when my fascination started but all I know is that I love what it is and what it represents.


First of all, a butterfly's lifespan is rather short, ranging from a few months to a year or two, depending on the species. I'm fascinated that it starts, in my eyes, as a little bug that transforms into a creature of beauty and majesty. Think about it! It starts off as a caterpillar that eats through all leaves that they can find, gets really fat, goes into a cocoon for hibernation and presto, a beautiful butterfly emerges. And the cycle repeats itself.


During a butterfly's short life what happens? Well, it looks for its mate and in so doing help with the pollination process, that continues the life cycle of plants and flowers. Short, sweet but quite purposeful! And this is what God created it to be :)


So are you going through any trials? Do you think the lessons that you learn from them will make you a better person? Do you see yourself transforming to be a better person? And what about your purpose? What are your gifts? Do you have any influence on anyone? What are these influences? Hmmmm....sounds like some things to ponder.


And who knows, just maybe you are living the life of a butterfy and you just don't know it ;)
By the way, butterflies represent freedom as well ;)
