Beautiful Butterfly
Cartoonist Arthur Brisbane once pictured a crowd of grieving caterpillars carrying the corpse of a cocoon to its final resting place. The poor, distressed caterpillars, clad in black raiment, were weeping, and all the while the beautiful butterfly fluttered happily above the muck and the mire of Earth, forever freed from its earthly shell.
Let us not dwell on the cocoon, but instead remember the beautiful butterfly!
“Having peace, even in a bad situation, isn’t related to how we feel about the situation, it’s how we feel about God. It’s believing that despite this situation, we know that He is still there and that everything is going to be okay.”
“I am the Resurrection, and the Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.” Jesus, John 11:25-26
“Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.” R. Tagore
“In Heaven, God will reveal what on Earth He chose to conceal.”
“God conceals from men the happiness of death that they may endure life.”
