The flies and other insects hated her because she looked hairy, ugly and hideous. But she continued doing what she loved to do: trimming and eating leaves. Then one day, a fairy decided to reward her and shame the flies and other insects. So, while everyone was sleeping, the fairy wrapped her with fairy web and transformed her from the inside.
In the morning, nowhere could the caterpillar be seen. The flies and the other insects rejoiced, but their celebration was cut short when they saw a fairy like creature flying above them. Her beauty stunned them. But their amazement suddenly turned into remorse and shame when they realized that the fairy like creature in front of them was the same ugly, hairy and hideous insect they used to shame.
At the end of the story, just before we alighted the car, everybody clapped their hands. Oh, the glow and sparkles in their eyes were more than enough reward for me.
The story of our life may not be as magical as this one; but guess what? It’s not finished yet; and the best thing about it, is that we make them. So, it’s up to you how you end it... We’re waiting :)
Father,
Thank You for the stories that happen everyday.
We may have time and humility to listen, appreciate and learn
From each other’s stories.
In Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
