It is officially spring. As I was lounging in my hammock in the back yard reading a mystery novel, 'The Last Templar', which my friend CJ had given to me, I looked up over at the flowers I had planted and there were butterflies everywhere. All different kinds of them- yellow ones, monarchs, swallowtails etc. You see if I didn't plant so many flowers and herbs there would not be any butterflies. They are a symbol of the resurrection of our life. They have gone through their life cycle and feed off the beautiful flowers that we plant. They share the blossoms with the adorable hummingbird, God's helicopter, the bees and of course the nasty red wasps. They were even flirting with each other as they flitted through the air, letting the breeze take them up higher and into the forest. I looked at them and remarked to myself, 'this is good'. The freedom of the butterflies as they wispfully hover over the colors of the blossoms remind me of how wonderful this world can be and how God has put every creature on this earth for a reason. I urge everyone to plant a flower or a vegetable so that butterflies will always be free.
