Quick read

Wednesday, July 16, 2008

Well just wanted to share a quick read that really spoke and encouraged my heart, from my book "One Month to Live" so here it goes:

"I'm reminded of a little boy who found a chrysalis on a branch. He thought it was moving, then saw a butterfly, so he took out his pocketknife to help the butterfly avoid the struggle. He cut open the chrysalis, pulled out the butterfly, and held it in his hand, expecting it to fly away. But it didn't move, and within minutes the butterfly was dead. When the challenge to emerge from the chrysalis was removed, the butterfly's opportunity to strengthen its wings was denied. With only weak, wet wings, the butterfly was unable to survive. It needed to struggle in order to soar, and we also need struggles in order to soar. There is no way that we can be changed from the inside out without problems."
