True wisdom in that quote! Some of the most beautiful people I know have survived lives filled with change — crises that were like trials of fire, major illnesses, loss of jobs — so many opportunities to have felt abandoned by God, and bitter. But instead they sighed, cried, and lifted hands to God. Thanks for sharing the quote and the wonderful photos, Sandra.
Lovely words and pictures…What kind of flower is the butterfly on? I don’t know that I’ve ever seen it before.

It’s a butterfly bush. 🙂 I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to snag a photo of a yellow butterfly–a tiger swallowtail, I think. I’ll get you yet, my pretty . . .

Refined by fire, stripped of dross . . .

A beautiful quote and very beautiful photos to speak to it!
Sandra says
Thank you, Louise. This little guy (or gal) would not spread wings for anything. I think there’s a lesson in there. 😉

i looked up the butterfly. i was curious of the name, which is cabbage butterfly.
Sandra says
😀 They are everywhere and can apparently be quite the farmer’s pest. But they are beautiful.
