We Have Butterflies!

Yesterday morning the first chrysalis opened! As I am posting there is only one left to hatch. What an amazing experience.

This was a great opportunity to talk about God changing our hearts, just like He changes the caterpillar to a butterfly, and to see these little creatures get "born again"!

We are climbing inside the bungalow tomorrow, before we set them free. There will be pictures, so check back!

"This is wonderful, this is so wonderful"

Hee hee...they warmed my heart!

I kept thinking your little one would chime in with, "And that's exactly TRUE"!
