On Monday Jaden found a caterpillar in the backyard. He found a 5 gallon bucket and made a nice little home for it. When I say nice little home...I mean...a plush home really. Jaden dug up a patch of grass...put a stick in there so when the caterpillar decided to make a cocoon it would have a place to hang from.
Home sweet home for the Caterpillar:
He even drilled holes in the lid...
But if you look closely at the top you will see this on the side of the bucket...
Yep...that caterpillar has already made cocoon..Jaden was utterly beside himself this morning when he found it. We will be watching for it to turn into a butterfly soon.
God takes a caterpillar and completely transforms it into a butterfly and he can do the same in your life.
He took my past...my sins..my old way of thinking...former wrong emotions...attitudes toward God...toward others and toward myself and puts it away once & for all so the I can be utterly set free from the past to live a new resurrected life.
Soon this Caterpillar will be a beautiful butterfly and we will set it free to live the life God intended for it.
Have you been transformed & set free in Christ?
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come.
2 Corinthians 5:17
I especially love watching nature through my kids' eyes! It's like getting to experience everything all over again. Love the new picture! I want to go there and just sit and watch the ocean!
