"The Butterfly" Have you seen a caterpillar crawling on the ground and noticed how it is so earthly bound!! But, inside that caterpillar, he knows that there is more for someday God will transform him and give him wings to soar. What a beautiful day when the caterpillar is majestically changed and his body is wonderfully arranged. He now has freedom... Total freedom to fly. For he has become a "Butterfly".
