God Made Butterflies

I believe that God made butterflies in order for us to understand life in a deeper way. 

Now you might be thinking, 

how in the world can I learn something deep from a butterfly?

Well folks, you can, indeed. 

I heard a story recently and would like to share it with you all:
Once, there was a farmer.
The farmer noticed a butterfly trying to free itself from its cocoon.
For hours the butterfly tried and still could not get out. 
The farmer felt bad for the butterfly so he opened up the cocoon to help,
But once the butterfly got out, it fell and died because it wasn't strong enough to fly yet.

The struggle to get out of the cocoon strengthens butterflies order to fly. 

If the farmer let the butterfly struggle a little bit longer, 
it could have flied on its own...



I am a lazy person. 
I don't like to struggle.

But I have to remind myself that with no struggle,
there's no reward. 

So cheer up, my friends. 
And keep struggling, 
Because if we all keep trying, one day we'll all be free from our cocoons, become butterflies and fly.

Cinnamon Roll

Well folks, sorry about not posting in a while, 

but have no fear!

Observant Girl is here!

...that sounded better in my head, but let's focus!


My loverly sister made some cinnamon rolls the other day (I had five in three days). 

They were DEE-licious. 


Now when I eat cinnamon rolls, I love to unwrap it and eventually get to the middle (the best part in my opinion). 

But my brother just likes to eat it by biting into it. 

Now stay with me, there's a point to this. 


I realized that much like having different ways of eating a cinnamon roll, there are different solutions to problems in life. 

Sometimes in frustrates me when people won't do something my way, but in the end, the job gets done anyway.

So what I've realized is that you can't get frustrated when someone does things different than you.

It's just their way of doing it. 

And that's what I learned from a cinnamon roll.

Dessert is deeper than you think.
