HE WAVED AT ME

A butterfly got in to our screened-in porch, where we eat dinner during the spring and summer. We were all gazing up at him. He was alternately trying to escape through the skylight and resting on the woodwork. We were wondering what kind he was.

I think he was a Red Admiral, but it’s been a while since I’ve boned up on butterflies. I need to do so, with a young daughter coming up through the ranks ready to pack in the information in every department.

Maddy then reminded me of the amusing and amazing egocentricity of the 5-year-old mind as the butterfly opened and closed its wings:

“He waved at me!”

Prayer request: Hearts are heavy at the death Tuesday of a beautiful wife and mother named Anne. She had been stricken while teaching at a local university three weeks ago, and apparently never recovered consciousness. As her grown children gather and friends surround this family, we pray that the unbreakable strand of faith in You will wrap everyone together, with the hope that they’ll all see her again one day in heaven. (Proverbs 14:32)
