There is a family song we sing about butterflies that we love. It talks about LOVE. So the Monarch butterfly is a symbol of love and family.
"If you should ever catch a butterfly, with wings of gold, so I've been told. Love and happiness will come your way, that very day, that's what they say. But if you find a tree full of butterflies, of golden butterflies, your love will multiply. And happiness will last an eternity, if you find that butterfly tree. The four leaf clover brings you luck they say. And rabbit's feet, are quite ok. And at the rainbows end so I've been told. There lies for all, a pot of gold. But, if you find a tree full of butterflies. Of golden butterflies, your love will multiply. And happiness will last an eternity. If you find that butterfly tree. If you find that butterfly tree."
I believe love is more a verb than a feeling. And to that extent we have some measure of control over our potential happiness. The fruits of the Spirit of God in our life is LOVE (Galatians 5:22-23). We can be loving and thereby draw love and happiness into our lives. Human nature is tied to free will and choice. So there is some element of faith involved in eternal love and happiness. And when things go wrong, it is only love that can set them right again. May we all focus on what we can do to bring love and happiness into this world and be at peace with the rest; is my prayer.
