Dragonflies

Back to the pond, we saw a school of baby fish (I have no idea how they got there) today.  Probably some sort of shiner.

Tonight I was sitting out there, praying, struggling with some things and a dragon fly came and landed on my knee and sat there.  You almost don't dare to breathe when this happens, and you certainly can't move or they will fly away.  It's a good way for God to drive home the message Be still.

There are so many amazing lessons from the dragonfly.  They bring with them some incredible symbolism - transformation, letting go of the old for the new.  They are a fantastic lesson in how God can change us.  Have you ever seen a dragonfly larvae?  They are scary, ugly!  And yet, in maturity, they are light, beautiful and awe inspiring.

I needed a dragonfly today!
