The Gift of Butterflies
The other day, I made a trip to one of my favorite quiet places. As I sat there, a butterfly flew around me, and I took in its beauty. Whenever I see a butterfly, I’m reminded that there’s a time and a season for everything, and God will make everything new. Caterpillars go through a…
