The lesson of the caterpillar

One day a caterpillar was left alone on a small stick. She didn't know what was happening. She didn't know that something good was taking care of her. But she felt something changing inside her. She held on to the stick and, in a few days, all around her were walls! She was afraid she would never go out into the fresh air again. 
 

Some days there were dark, black skies. Some days it rained hard! Some days the wind blew so much she thought it would blow her away. All the little caterpillar could do was wait. She didn't know that sometimes waiting can be a friend. While the caterpillar waited, she was changing. She was changing inside.

     Then one day the sun came out. The walls of her little house opened and she was a beautiful butterfly!
     Now, here is a very good question to ask yourself: Did you know that the Love that takes care of a butterfly is taking care of you? Just wait and see.
     This week take a piece of paper and write down ways you are changing. 
1) What new things have you learned this year?  
2) What new qualities do you have? 
3) How are you stronger?
