Peace, the butterfly and change

Yesterday was October the 10th 2023.
As I laid down to rest, I was thinking about Israel and the crisis that is going on the in Middle
East. I kept hearing the word peace. I thought about the word and I began to cry. And I thought to myself, peace? So many things have happened in the past couple of days.
A friend of mine from church past away. It was sudden and just different things that have happened in the last quarter of this year of 2023. Change oftentimes is uncomfortable.
Just as a butterfly has to go through various changes to become a butterfly: it starts out as eggs, and then as a caterpillar and in its transitional stage it becomes a pupa, and becomes an adult in its reproductive stage. You know it has to go through those stages to become a butterfly in its beauty and its radiance. At one point it was eggs, then a larvae. You've probably seen it in a cocoon- wrapped up. If you're as observative as kids are you'll see it struggle out of the cocoon. As it becomes an adult it comes out of that cocoon and becomes a beautiful butterfly. Change in the long run will have its positive effect. We may not always see the outcome of the change- how things will be in the future but rest assured things will get brighter someday.
