Symbols

One of my favorite symbols of the renewal of life, the new birth....and something beautiful arising out of something plain and ordinary....is the butterfly.  I have realized as I have enjoyed the numerous butterflies flitting around Doe River Gorge and other places we have been recently, that these symbols of metamorphosis will soon be flying south in search of warmer weather.  So I am taking the time each day to enjoy their beauty.....and their symbolism.

Even those of us with wings a little worn and tattered are beautiful....

....just as are the newly "birthed"....

for after all...HE created each of us!  What a wonderful reminder of the love and care of our Heavenly Father....thank You, Lord, for reminding me that yes, You created the butterflies with so much care and made them a thing of beauty...how much more You love each one of us, as You created us in YOUR image!
