Smiling Butterflies

You may be a Smiling Butterfly.  If you were once a girl who is "about, into or a bit beyond" her mid-fifties, chances are you are a Smiling Butterfly.  Changes are our friend as we grow deeper and deeper in love and admiration of our 'Changer',  God.  As we enter this Smiling Butterfly Time Zone we have a sparkle in our eyes, a ready giggle on our lips and ever-changing-hips ! Our prayer-life grows exponentially as we realize God really is in control of everything and we are not !  Relief !

Smiling Butterflies may very definitely note the changes of eyesight, hearing and memory as follows :  Often, we see things that are not there, hear things that have not been said and seem to remember things that never were !  And we do this without even trying !  It just seems to happen to all of us,  honest.  I think it's a "gift" don't you ?

Smiling Butterflies have a gentle warm beauty as they spread their dainty wings in the sun. We may gently waft along, upon and behind the wake of the Holy Spirit.  As we depend more and more on Him our belief in Him grows.  Keeping our eyes on Him we grow in joy and peace, faith and strength.  Others begin to seek the shelter of our blooming hearts as Jesus overflows us.  Daily He proves His faithfulness to us by His unconditional love.

Finally, Smiling Butterflies usually have well developed antennae.  Wafting in the air, sensing alot through prayer, we "know" things.  We see warnings, give heart-building encouragements and cover others in the hard places.  Smiling Butterflies have learned to depend on the power of an unending life and not impending death.  Smiling Butterflies are promise-dependent.  We may forget a familiar name but we remember God's Word. We own those promises which He has written on our lives, minds and hearts.  It never returns void.  Never.  His miracles are "very every day" for us.  We smile.  I think I always wanted to be a Smiling Butterfly and now I fit right into a whole 'herd' of them !  Smile with me !  Have you noticed that when you bump into another Smiling Butterfly, the most beautiful color rubs off of them and onto you ?
