butterflies are beautiful things.

why you ask?

they start out lives like an ugly worm, in a world where everything is out to get them, even tho for "worms" they DO have a nice coat... maybe even the fuzzy ones... anyways life starts out normal... and invisable, except to those that are looking for them..after a while.. they disapear..

why do they disappear? its because they are getting ready for the next stage in life. in a way its like us. for us to be ready for anything, we need to spend time to prepare for it.. usually its by ourselves.. sometimes its both by ourselves and as a group which is always nice because then you can be there and support each other. and maybe grow together.

After all the preperation, there needs to be a result. what is this result for a butterfly? the result after all its hard work is to just BE a beautiful butterfly and to enjoy the wonderful outcome of all their hard work. admire by all.

in a way thats what life is like for us too. only we dont become different physically.. (usually anyways) but its because we have more then that. we have thoughts. we have feelings. we have emotions. we have a soul. and with all these things that a complex human has as opposed to a simple butterly, how much more can we grow and support each other and to watch God work and make beautiful things out of lives that arent always so pretty and elegant. lets all work together and help each other in love, peace, trust and unity. and build each other up.

a church isnt the 4 walls of a building. its more then that. its the people in there that love God and love each other and love those around them that makes ALL the difference in the world. let us all try and restore love and peace and unity. and through this, may we achieve a happiness love that the world can see and want to know.... and maybe they will see God through us...
