There's just no way to take a short cut into butterfly-hood.

That if we try to rush the process or pull the butterfly out before he's ready or before he goes through all the work & struggle, that we will only harm the butterfly and he will not have his strong wings to fly.<br />Take your time ;)<br />Hugs to your beautiful family of butterflies.Renee Jacoba Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01871081471304896653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-19985577608447157222010-02-09T11:47:45.220-10:002010-02-09T11:47:45.220-10:00Great thought, Natalie, and I'm glad you inclu...Great thought, Natalie, and I'm glad you included that wonderful comment.

I love it, I've been "checking in" for probably over a year now. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the spirit you are able to convey through your blog, and how it has uplifted me.. My husband and I have been praying for you and your family.<br /><br />SO.. why I took so long to comment, I don't know, I'm pretty shy, but I couldn't resist when I read this post. I LOVE this analogy. It's something I've been thinking about a lot lately, too. I once heard a story about a little girl who asked her mother, "Do caterpillars know that they'll become butterflies, or does God surprise them?" <br /><br />Wishing you all the best from not too far away :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01447886801765474708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-66201688562362334772010-02-09T08:20:01.093-10:002010-02-09T08:20:01.093-10:00praise the lord!!praise the lord!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-80020948265134917302010-02-09T08:15:31.741-10:002010-02-09T08:15:31.741-10:00beautiful thoughts and I can't wait til that d...beautiful thoughts and I can't wait til that day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-57338241815027988422010-02-09T07:17:33.134-10:002010-02-09T07:17:33.134-10:00Thank you.
