Connecting Butterflies and God

After my latest venture with my best friend to lighthouse gifts I realized that I am not the only one who must connect butterflies to God as there were many butterflies decorating things around the store. However, I often find that I have always connected butterflies to God even though there really was no reason why. I tend put the two together all the time, and it is probably because I love both so dearly.

I had a necklace that said something along the lines of "whisper a prayer to a butterfly and it will carry it up to heaven." Even though it may sound foolish, I do believe that butterflies carry messages back to heaven. Butterflies are such beautiful creatures, that I think are proof of a creator. The fact that a crawling, somewhat ugly catipiller turns into a beautiful butterfly that has wings is almost unbelievable except for the fact that we can watch it happen.

I always tend to have a butterfly show up at just the right time. Sometimes I think it is a loved one who passed away, or just God's way of saying everything will be okay. On fathers day I was wearing a dress that has butterflies on it. On the way home from the historical home where I volunteered the windows in the car were open. In flew what was probably a moth, but could have been a butterfly. It looked exactly like the butterflies on my dress. It landed on one of the butterflies, and took a lot of coaxing to get it to fly away. I like to think it was my grandfathers who have both passed away who sent it. The next butterfly that I saw was on my birthday at lifest. A few days ago while listening to my favorite song (Shoulders, by King and Country) which happened to come on the radio, a beautiful monarch butterfly flew right by my car.  I could not have been happier!!

I obviously love butterflies, but I do think they connect with God. They speak to his beautiful creation, and  I think that is why I love them so much.
