Torn and tattered wings didn’t stop this lovely butterfly.
Battered, weary and worn?
Broken, downtrodden and torn?
God can put the lift back in your wings
And help you soar once more.
Don’t lose heart.
Broken wings can fly again.
Perched for take off ~ butterfly with torn wings
Come, let us return to the Lord; for He has torn us, that He may heal us
Hosea 6:1

Beautiful pictures! Amazimg captures. God must have gifted you with amazing patience. It seems that I’m always chasing butterflies around, waiting for them to land, then off they go! Yes, we are all children of the King! Praise God for his love and grace!

Thanks so much. Usually, butterflies do the same thing to me, but this one was enjoying my neighbor’s Lantana flowers so much it was oblivious to me and my camera! Blessings.
I really love your thought. Really inspiring me this evening. I also love the butterfly. Thank you for your post, Sis Sue 🙂
You are welcome. I just read your story this morning, A Little Girl’s Prayer. Was so very touching!

Blessings back.
Sis, I just show your butterfly photos. He asked about the camera that you use it. According his opinion you must use the professional gear.
The camera I use is a Nikkon. I am not sure if it is a professional one. It was a gift from my sweet brother. Thanks!
My daddy said nikon is a good one if on the good and right hand and you are the one 🙂
How sweet, Karina. I am still learning but enjoy photography so much. Feel free to use any of my pictures you want!
Sorry…I shows to my daddy 🙂

Thanks, Jane. Glad it was a blessing!
How lovely. He cares for us so tenderly and gives us His strength in our weakness to keep going.
Yes. Lovely way of expressing this idea. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Both the picture and the poem are beautiful! Thank you for sharing this. It is so encouraging to know, even if we are broken, we will be ok! Thank you Jesus!
You are so welcome. Blesses me so much to know that my photos and writing encourage others. I try so hard at my pictures. 🙂
Your pictures show your giftedness at photography! I am so blessed to have you as a sister! 🙂
Thanks Toni. You, too. I am really only learning but enjoy it so much.
Yes, He can! What a beautiful illustration!
Thanks, Rene. Blessings on your day!
Needed to hear this today, Sue. I’m feeling pretty torn up at the moment. It’s time to recount all the ways the Lord has healed in the past, and the many things He’s brought me out of…that He has torn me this time that He may heal me. May that come soon!
\o/
Amen to that! I pray He does it soon for you, too.
