The unwanted caterpillar, strives to survive. Trying to meet it's fundamental needs to become that bright and beautiful butterfly. But first it must grow, and make it's cocoon. The caterpillar moves along; searching for food, searching for shelter. Searching for a place; a place to grow.
Then it times comes; when the caterpillar is fat, ready to be transformed, wraps himself into a cocoon. And stays there until he becomes a butterfly. Then it cracks through the cocoon and fly's. He gets use to his new set of wings and fly's. Go's where ever he wants.
As we ALL know it's summer. And with summer comes the HEAT WAVE. +30 temperatures everyday, with a little rain; just enough to make REALLY humid. And barley enough rain to water our gardens which have sprouted beautifully. We must adjust to the times. Water our gardens by our selves, drink water our selves and turn the air conditioning up.
As the caterpillar adjusts to become a butterfly, we adjust to the heat. And we all adjust to the greatness of God. We are like the butterfly. We ALL start off as the caterpillar, We are lost, and needing fundamental needs to survive. We need God. So then we begin our lives by getting Baptized.
Then we continue our ways and gather our selves together, and go into our cocoon. We learn and take our sacraments, then we burst out of the cocoon, belonging to Gods GREAT family. Then we go out to all the lands freely preaching the Good news to all the lands. We give others the way, to fundamental needs. And lead people to a better life, by helping them become a butterfly.
It's by teaching that we learn more. And by helping others in one way or another, that we develop our relationship with God. It's not by how many times we go to church, it's not by how many confessions we go to, it's not by how many times we read the bible.
It's by How we live our lives for Jesus. Yes, it is good to go to church. Yes it is good to go to confession to have out sins forgiven and Yes it's good to read the bible for direction. It's how we LIVE OUR LIVES and HOW WE TREAT OTHERS is what God will look at. He won't care about our earthly things.
29 "And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. 31 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near."
Luke 21:29-31
