The Miracle Butterfly

So I know I haven't written for a while. I told you I was bad at this whole blog thing. I have a story though.

Tonight I saw a monarch butterfly on our front porch. I thought it odd that he was still flitting around and active at 10pm since normally you only see them around in the sunshine. I watched him and the. Saw him fly up into the front porch light. I thought maybe he had gotten stuck in a spider web or something so being the ridiculous person I am, I opened the door to make sure he was alright. I saw him at the top of the door and he seemingly fell toward me, and then flew into my house. I was shocked and quickly went to try to catch him to let him back outside. He had flown into one of the lights of the chandelier in our front hallway. My dad came and got him out. He then flew into the chandelier light in our living room. My dad followed him and caught him and put him in a jar. I took the jar and went on the back porch to let him go but he wouldn't come out of the jar. For a moment I thought he had died, since he had been acting odd and was possibly injured. I dumped him out of the jar into the wooden railing of the back deck. The wind was blowing his wings around but the little guy just clung to the wood for dear life and would not fly away. I didn't know what to do so I put my finger down by him and he crawled right on. For the next 30 minutes maybe I just sat there with him on my finger. When I tried to touch him to see if he would fly he simply just crawled onto the other hand. I felt bad for him thinking he was dying and didnt want to be alone and somehow figured I was his friend or something. I wasn't sure what to do with him because I didn't want to just leave him there. He then flew off my finger and into my hair, as if to say "I'm ready now." I walk back outside into the back porch and he just flew away, perfectly, not injured at all. I have no idea what just happened, as most butterflies may land in you but when you try to hold them they get spooked and fly away. I like to think someone up there was looking down and thought i could use a friend, so they sent me him. Whatever the case, I'm glad I got some time with one of the most beautiful creatures God created and to me, he is a little miracle. I hope he's off to show someone else a little love and encouragement, as he definitely showed me. Weird how such tiny things can make such a big impact.
