Butterflies

Butterflies have been swarming around here.  In fact as you drive down the street you have them hitting your windshield in large numbers.  The butterflies are one of God's many creations and so pretty.  It hurts to see them die in such large amounts.  There is nothing we can do about that except maybe park our cars.  A coworker of mine said her grandaughter was picking the dead ones out of the grill on her truck.  The granddaughter looked up at her like she was a murderer!  Another friend said he tried slowing down so that maybe it wouldn't be so bad.  They die if you are going 60 or 70.

Those butterflies will never be back but God will send others to brighten our day.  A lot of things that happen in our lives are sad.  Maybe a good friend moves away or we loose a job or a loved one finds out they have a dreaded diesease or maybe there is an accident.  These are all sad things but you know what?  In Jeremiah 29:11 God says He has a plan for us and a hope and a future.  Isn't that a great thought?
