A BUTTERFLY WITH A BROKEN WING

A HEART THAT HAS LOST THE WILL TO SING

IS LIKE A BUTTERFLY WITH A BROKEN WING.

Harriette B McCormick

Lord, You Are……… My Butterfly

You brought colour to my life…

You helped me to select the sweet from the bitter

And savour the moment.

You showed me how to take things lightly

You helped me soar above my worries, You take.

You helped me spread my wings

And notice the flowers.
You are my butterfly My Father, and I love you.

You showed me it’s true that if

You chase a butterfly, away he flies;
Like knocking at a door without a knob.

But if you sit still, He brushes your cheek

With His wings and changes the monochrome vistas of gray

Into a suffusion of colour.

Never were poppies so crimson

Crimson as the blood You shed for me.
Or daffodils so yellow as now, with You.
Green apples and honey

Mint and liquorice and ginger, and

Stamens of the honeysuckle

Were never so real.

You are my butterfly Jesus.

Diving into the cool water

Feeling the warmth of a puppy

Touching an empty cocoon

Listening to the rain

Seeing the sun set

Hearing the rustle of leaves

Were never so aesthetic and soothing

As they has become since I accepted You.

For you are My Butterfly, Holy God.

You are my inspiration, the love of my Life.

Number One, My Butterfly, My Father, My Lord and Saviour

And I will ever praise You.

=======================

I talked to Mom a little while ago, she said she's

been miserable every since her procedure yesterday.

She said her left ribs and the place in her left back

(where they actually went in to take the nearly 1 liter

of fluid) was all "SO SORE, AND ACHING LIKE A REALLY

BAD TOOTHACHE" She went on to say that she cannot

get any relief from it, but maybe tomorrow.

SO PLEASE KEEP HER AND HER COMFORT IN YOUR

PRAYERS. I KNOW SHE APPRECIATES EVERY PRAYER

SENT UP IN HER BEHALF.

"But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness

will rise with healing in its WINGS..." Malachi 4:2
