I have always loved
butterflies. I think I must have got it from my
Mom. When I was a boy she used to take a break
from working in her flower garden just to watch
these delicate winged beauties fly from blossom to
blossom. After my Mom passed away I told my
daughter many times that if her Grandma ever
wanted to check up on her that she would probably
just hop a ride on the back of a butterfly to do
so. The amazing thing is that the more I would say
it the more the butterflies would dance gracefully
in the air around us when we walked outside. I
would always smile and silently tell my Mom how
much I loved her as they fluttered by.
This year I have seen more
butterflies than ever before. I think my Mom must
have gathered a thousand, invisible, angel riders
to join her in watching over me. It is so glorious
seeing all these butterflies floating on the
breezes whenever I go out. I know that it is just
my Mom's wonderful way of letting me know that she
loves me, that she is looking out for me, and that
she along with so many others are helping me as I
travel down the road of life.
It is so good to know that
my Mom is still with me in my heart, mind, and
soul. It is so blissful to feel her presence as I
do my best to give love, spread joy, and make this
world a better place. It is so wonderful to
realize that a thousand angels are cheering me on
as I strive to do what God wants me to do and go
where God wants me to go. It is so peaceful
knowing that this life I am living is a part of
something far greater than myself.
As you go down the road of
your life, always remember that you are not alone.
God and His angels are always with you. They are
watching you, helping you, and cheering you on as
you love, give, and live. They are delighting in
your every effort to do good and make this world a
better place. And sometimes they are even riding
on the backs of a thousand butterflies.
