Ditching the Ditch

Thousands of butterflies, decked in pastel wings of yellow, white, and green gathered in clusters along the road, Not so common, there were occasional groups of bright colored orange butterflies. The dazzling ones did not seem to mix with the pale ones. I had often seen bunches of beautiful winged insects sucking up the urinated salts left where an animal or human had relieved themselves on the ground. The dirt of the road must have contained something naturally, not urine, that the insects wanted. As we drove past, the colorful groupings exploded skywards like fluttering confetti. God’s confetti was flitting all around us. It was beautiful and should have been a reminder that the Creator of all was with us, even in the hard times!
