Before we left for our getaway, one of our wise elders from church reminded us to look for the God moments like the one we had at Meijer. Well, we had one. Very silent and touching.
First, a little background to help you understand the significance of the moment. At Noah’s memorial we ended by releasing of a box full of beautiful monarch butterflies. One by one they flew off to the heavens, except for the few that wanted to stick around the flowers placed over Noah. From that moment on we knew we would look at monarchs differently and be excited about each time we spotted one.
Dan and I were on a nice Sea-Doo ride. The day couldn’t have been more perfect. A warm breeze was blowing in our faces with the bright sunlight dancing off the water, a real moment of joy. We were taking in all of God’s splendor, when all of a sudden, a beautiful monarch butterfly flew above us. It was as if God was telling us, “You think this is good, just wait until you are in heaven with me and Noah.” We were speechless and loving every moment of that treasured encounter with the butterfly.
Dan and Katie,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys (and Tucker!) were able to relax and enjoy some time together up north. How encouraging it must've been to see that butterfly! In my mind, I pictured little Noah on the wings whispering that he is always with you. God is taking good care of him and of each of you as only he can. Praying for you and thinking of you often!
