WHITE BUTTERFLY
By Sally I. Kennedy
September 12, 2010

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your
understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and will make your
paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

We were threading our way down the path from our trek up to the
waterfall. Nothing around. No people, no birds, no animals... except
for one very small chipmunk scurrying from rock to rock to avoid our
big scary shoes coming toward him.

Then a tiny white butterfly appeared. It fluttered along in front of
us all, as if leading the way. All the way down the trail to the
bridge at the bottom. There, by the river's edge, it flew into the
woods, only to reappear behind us when we moved on.

We weren't lost. But sometimes we don't have to be completely lost to
need a little guidance and direction. Or even reassurance, comfort.

Ten thousand feet up in the Rocky Mountains, could a white butterfly
be a reminder saying God will go ahead of us to lead the way? And that
He will also come behind us?

God tells us in the Bible, "I will never leave you or forsake
you." (Joshua 1, Deuteronomy 31, Hebrews 13)

It's a promise!

That's good news.
