Butterflies

Happy Birthday Relief Society!!! We had a par-tay for it a week or so ago, so much fun! Really yummy cake. A lady from the stake shared a story: Some students were sent home with cocoons to watch butterflies break through a fly. One girl noticed her butterfly was working awfully hard to break free from her cocoon, so she snipped the edges of it with some scissors and waited for the ex-caterpillar to fly. The butterfly plopped out onto the counter with the lower half of its wings shriveled and unable to function. It later died. Each butterfly has to work and struggle to get out of the cocoon in order for the bottom wings to get proper juices flowing. Just like those butterflies we all have challenges, that are God given, for each of us to become stronger and one day fly.
