I took this photo in June of this year. My mother and daughter, who now live in heaven, loved butterflies. My husband and I had taken our older granddaughter (my deceased daughter's child) to the Chattanooga,TN area, to see some of the sites that we had seen as children (and adults), like Ruby Falls, The Incline Railway, and Rock City (where this photo was taken), while the weather wasn't too hot for outside fun. We had just climbed up one of the more rocky areas when this beautiful creature came fluttering overhead, landing several times on the nearby flowers, and upon our granddaughter's head and shoulders. Winter time isn't my favorite time, as things die. I know it is God's way- that old things are past away for new things to appear. But winter is painful, sometimes lonely and harsh on all of the senses. Spring on the other hand is amazing! Although I have no choice but to go through the winter, in order to see the spring and all of its bounty, I will enjoy my wonderful memories until I come to that place where there will be no death, no cold, no sorrows or heartaches. Oh, to see that day appear when we will be like him- King Jesus, whose birthday we are soon to celebrate!
"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" 1 Corinthians 15:55
