You can chase a butterfly all over the field and never catch it.
But if you sit quietly in the grass it will come and sit on your shoulder.

Beautiful with the beautiful, colorful butterflies! I love the verse….we do need to be still and silent at times to hear God. Love you, Mom

So true, Mom… “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10

You nailed it. It looks like E! Love the quote…reminds me of herding sheep. These people, hollering and arms flailing, were chasing the sheep in an attempt to get them in a pen. Some other folks walked calmly up to the sheep and practically walked them to where they wanted them. Could be said of parenting too….hmmm. Is there a hidden message for me?!?!

I hadn’t thought of the quote in regards to parenting, but, yes, I think it definitely applies! Kind of like “Chewy Louie!”
