The Year’s at the spring
And day*s at the morn;
Morning*s at seven;
the Hillside’s dew-pearled ;
The lark’s on the wing;
The snailson the thorn;
Pippa*s Song –Robert Browning
God*s in His heaven-------
ALL*s Rightwiththe World
A Butterfly’s Lesson
”One day, a small
opening appeared
in a cocoon; a
man sat and
watched for the
butterfly for
several hours as
it struggled to
force its body
through that little
hole.
Then, it seems to
stop making any
progress.
It appeared as if
it had gotten as
far as it could
and it could not
go any further.
So the man
decided to help
the butterfly: he
took a pair of
scissors and
opened the
cocoon.
The butterfly
then emerged
easily.
But it had a
withered body, it
was tiny and
shriveled wings.
The man continued
to watch because
he expected that, at
any moment, the
wings would open,
enlarge and
expand, to be able
to support the
butterfly’s body,
and become firm.
Neither
happened!
In fact, the
butterfly spent
the rest of its life
crawling around
with a withered
body and
shriveled wings.
It never was able
to fly.
What the man, in his
kindness and his goodwill
did not understand was
that the restricting
cocoon and the struggle
required for the butterfly
to get through the tiny
opening, were God’s way
of forcing fluid from the
body of the butterfly into
its wings, so that it would
be ready for flight once it
achieved its freedom from
the cocoon.
Sometimes,
struggles are
exactly what we
need in our life.
If God allowed us to
go through our life
without any
obstacles, it would
cripple us. We
would not be as
strong as we could
have been. Never
been able to fly.
I asked for Strength...
and God gave me
difficulties to make me
strong.
I asked for Wisdom...
and God gave me
problems to solve.
I asked for
prosperity...
and God gave me a
brain and open the
opportunities for me
to proove myself .
I asked for
Courage…..
and God gave me
obstacles to overcome.
I asked for Love...
and God gave me
troubled people to
help.
I asked for Favors...
And God gave me
Opportunities.
“I received nothing
I wanted...
But I received
everything more
than I ever needed."
But I received
everything
More than
I ever needed."
Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and know that you can overcome them.
Send this message to your friends and show them how much you care.
Love can move everything
It is - The Live Water Spring Inside
us
It constitutes - what we hope for &
the foundation of our Life
For You
God*s in His heaven-------
ALL*s Rightwiththe World
Rejoice in our Lord always ; and again I say, Rejoice , and
the Peace of God , which passeth all understanings , shall keep your hearts and mind through Christ Jesus .
