Butterflies are fantastic; beautiful, graceful, and captivating.
We are surrounded by butterflies during the spring, summer, and fall. They change from a caterpillar to a chrysalis and emerge with wings, flying high out of our reach. They visit our gardens, landing on plants just a few feet away, and drink nectar from flowers. We can't help but stop to give God the glory for these beautiful creatures.
Just like when I'm with butterflies, I find that after I've been talking to certain people in my life, I find myself often thanking and/or praising God because of them. Watching butterflies causes me to praise God. Thinking of others often causes me to praise God. I have to ask myself if I live my life in a manner to cause others to praise God because of me. Does anyone ever leave my presence giving praise to God because of what I am?
• Have I made someone’s life easier today?
• Have I helped someone who is going through a difficult time?
• Have I been a blessing to someone?
I should start my day by asking God to make me a blessing to someone else and for my life to bring praise to him.
Galatians 1:24
"And they praised God because of me."
I miss the butterflies!! I wish we had that 2nd one... think it's a zebra. I'd love to photograph that one.
