Fireflies

June 11, 2012
There is a firefly chillin outside my window. It is the coolest thing. I was just looking out and all of a sudden… BLINK… oh and it just thrilled me to pieces! I haven’t seen a firefly in years! Then it landed on my window and just hung out for a little while and it blinked a few times. It was like my pet firefly! I couldn’t take my eyes off of it.

I remember when I was a little girl and we would come visit my great grandma in Illinois. And she would give us a jar and we would catch a bunch of them. Isn’t it weird how the same things I delighted in as a kid, give me joy today!

I can’t wait till they come out full force. They just amaze me. These little bugs have a light-bulb attached to them. What other reason can you think of for God to give these little creatures their own light, except for us to enjoy? What a beautiful gift! What a wonderful loving God!
