The Road Less Traveled

• Wed 27 Jun 2007 - New Creations!

Posted in Nature

We've been raising monarch caterpillars the past few weeks. We get them as tiny caterpillars and feed them milkweed. When they're big, they hang on our butterfly cage and make their chrysalises. After 7-10 days they emerge as beautiful butterflies and we set them free! It's amazing to watch the transformation and reminds me of 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! .. This is sure true of these butterflies as we watch them change from caterpillars to butterflies with wings to fly! May we fly as a butterfly as new creations in Christ!

Here's some pics from our experiences!

Butterflies all set to go!
