One day a few years ago, I was sitting on the back porch talking to God. I told Him that I just love the gentle ways He wispers that He loves me. Like the wind blowing thru the trees, and the beautiful flowers that bloom in spring, and the way a fall leaf falls right beside me, and the way a bird will sing ,and so on. Then I was about to say the way a butterfly flutters around, then suddenly something flew around the side of the house, stopped beside me looking at me, and flew away. It was a butterfly. I grabbed my chest, gave a big smile and said, "I thought that was gonna be a butterfly, that was funny." THEN a butterfly flew around the house taking the same path as the hummingbird! From then on, every time I see a butterfly, I know that it's God's way of wispering "Darla, I love you".
I see butterflies all the time now! I've seen them flying around, I've seen them on the toilet paper! I've seen them in magazines, shirts, cloud shapes, tree shapes, books, tatoos, and even on a tampon!!! LOL!!!

I just love sharing this storY!!! I shared it with my son one day. Then I asked him to tell God one thing that everytime he sees it that it will remind him that God loves him. He said, a lizzard. We were facing the pond in the back yard. Then when we turned to walk in the back door after we finished our conversation, guess what was right beside the back door!!!!! A lizzard!!! There is no way that my son saw it before he said it, we were facing the other way!!! It was so awesome!

Then, yesterday, I was talking to one of my son's friends that came over last night to spend the night with him. I told him the story behind my tatoo (a butterfly in a heart) and told him to think of something that every time he saw it that it would be a way that God could tell him that He loved him. He said, a deer. I said oh that's a good one! I want to go hunting with you!!! lol

THEN!!!!! He looked up and saw the two christmas deer in my front yard!!! He was so amazed!!! Then I looked at his shirt and walked over to him and said "DJ!!! Look!!!" He had a shirt on that had a deer on it!!!

Take a moment right now to tell God of something that everytime you see it, it will remind you that God loves you. And then, LOOK AROUND YOU!!! God is so awesome! AND He loves to remind us that He loves us! Just try it! It's so awesome!!!
