Currently in the news is the plight of the Monarch Butterfly. It is fast becoming an endangered creature as a result of destruction of the rainforests in Mexico where the Monarch spends its winter after the long flight to avoid freezing temperatures of the northern climes.
Fortunately there are people working to stop the deforestation; hopefully, this can be accomplished in order that one of God's lovely creatures can be saved from extinction.
I had a most inspiring experience with Monarch Butterflies at Laurelledge. One early autumn day I was on my way down the driveway to check the mail box. All of a sudden I noticed that I was surrounded by Monarchs. The air was full of their beauty and graceful flight.
My presence did not seem to disturb them. As I continued my trip to the mail box, I was entranced by the awe-inspiring sight. I realized that the butterflies were on their way to Mexico. I had witnessed one way in which God provides His creatures with the means to preserve their existence on this earth and procreate future generations to continue that flight.
I am indeed grateful for the beauty and perseverance of the Monarch Butterfly.
