Thought for the Day 8/30/2024
Friday Tale ~ Be a Caterpillar
If you
are a caterpillar, enjoy it. Eat all you can eat and love every bite. You will
notice that very few creatures have as many feet.
Because
of your efforts and because it is your nature, you will be called by an inner
voice to stop eating and build a retreat.
This
is when some caterpillars get into trouble.
Some
worry, become very anxious, and wonder if building a retreat is in their best
interest. A few think they have lost their mind and keep eating.
The
rule is, be the best caterpillar you can be until you are called upon to be
something different. Build the best retreat that has ever been built.
You
will spend a quite a bit of time in total darkness. A lot of changes will be
taking place, but they are all for the best. In time, your retreat will become
a pathway of light.
For
reasons that no one can explain, you will emerge from your retreat a completely
new creature. You will have lost many of your feet and will have wings.
Don’t
judge the new you or try to return to habits of the past.
Make
the best of having wings. Experiment with them. Fly as high as you desire. You
are---and have always been---whole, and growing, learning.
Some
people spend their entire lives trying to be something they are not and could
never be. They miss out on life’s greatest pleasures.
~ Dr. Bob Luckin
I pray that your love may
over flow still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment so that
you may discover the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and
blameless for the day of Christ.

Philippians 1:9-10
