Gentle Whispers

I have always been intrigued by butterflies. My mom used to say whenever you see a butterfly someone from heaven is watching over you. Lately, I have been seeing an abundance of butterflies. My favorite are yellow butterflies.

Today, while my dog and I were taking a walk we saw an exquisite brown butterfly with yellow trim around its wings. The butterfly flew over my dog and then almost landed on my shouder. I had been praying for my daughter in college and for another special prayer. When I saw the butterfly a gentle peace came over me. I could hear the Lord's gentle whisper that all is well and all will be well.

The Lord talks to us in many gentle ways. Sometimes we hear a bird sing. Sometimes we see a beautiful sunset. Sometimes butterflies bring His gentle whispers of love. Let us open our hearts to the beauty and wonders of the blessings all around us. Let us know that God's love is always with us, every moment of every day.
