Have you ever seen a butterfly trying to fly against a strong wind? I was making my coffee this morning and looked out the window; I could not help but watch as a Monarch butterfly was struggling against the wind to reach the tree branches and leaves. It was getting tossed about, blown back and, at one point, grounded by the strong winds. Time and time again this butterfly would correct its course. It would continue towards the tree even as it was blown back a number of feet. It took a tremendous amount of perseverance for that butterfly to make it to its destination. The journey was not an easy one to take and it was full of its ups and downs. Eventually the butterfly made it. Through God’s insight in His word and His world we can learn and apply lessons like this to our lives. We can apply that principle of perseverance to our lives as individuals as well as the life we live in community. Calvin Christian, as a community, can learn and live this lesson from the butterfly as we continue to live with perseverance while trusting in the Lord and resting in His strength.~ Mr. Bouwers
