Timing Is Everything.

Colorado Update coming soon...for now, a quote.

For my marriage and parenting class I was assigned to read part of the book "I gave dating a chance" by Jeramy Clark. In it he told a story about a woman who found a cocoon in her front yard and saw the little butterfly trying to break free from its entrapment. Thinking she was doing a kind thing, she took a knife and cut the cocoon right open. The would-be butterfly was only partly transformed so tragically he did not survive outside of the cocoon. Clark writes,

The woman hadn’t realized that only the struggle and the waiting made the butterfly ready to be free. Without the proper amount of time, the butterfly could not survive.
Timing is everything.


Ecclesiastes 3. Timeless. (No pun intended.)
