Butterflies: A New Creation in Christ

Last week, Miss Elsa's class talked about the goodness of God in creation. After reading the book, Let There Be Light by Desmond Tutu; we continued discussing the life cycle of a butterfly. Is it possible that God made butterflies to teach us lessons about life? We are all a work in progress and we have to go through a caterpillar stage before we can be transformed into a beautiful butterfly. The caterpillar might not look like much now, but when God gets done with it, it will become a creature of awesome beauty.

We were delighted to discover that the caterpillars we'd observed in the classroom had become beautiful butterflies! We spent time watching each one before releasing them into the Swan Garden. The class also made special butterfly-themed Mother's Day cards and enjoyed time on the playground in the bright rays of the warm spring sunshine.
