Unexpected Joys

We were carrying some boxes to store in my shed when my daughter said, “Mother, come look!” She was standing close to my back fence looking at a large bush covered with clusters of small white blooms. I heard her say something about butterflies and as I got closer indeed there were! The flowering bush in the woods behind my yard was alive with small butterflies! Bees were all over the tall bush too. It was animated with flittering, buzzing life. We stood there realizing we might never experience what we were seeing ever again. It was one of those magical times when you feel God just gave you a gift.
