How to find happiness?

The other day I watched 4 caterpillars turning into butterflies...it was like poetry! So, as i watched them grow I was surprised of how much we can be compared to them!!! o.O When a caterpillar is in her cocoon, the LIGHT of the sun is what wakes them up, makes them start trying to get off the cocoon and be born again. But I noticed it is a painful process...the caterpillars are "too big" for that little, thin, cocoon and as they tried to get off it, I watched their little "legs" in such a fast and tiring process of "pushing themselves" out of there. Not that we are to figure if we are caterpillars, or butterflies, but we all sure got cocoons to get out off. And this is all about it. Getting out of what is stopping you from growing, seeing life as something BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN SEE. There is always a cocoon, and yes, it will always be painful to get off it and leave it behind. ..so after the butterfly left the cocoon, she slowly "tried out" her wi...

Last week I was notified that a great pastor of mine, was taken to the hospital because three of the main veins of his heart, were clogged. His surgery, is tomorrow. God is blessing :) Last week, I read on my friends' blog, about the children she has been working with in the favelas of Belo Horizonte (Brazil). There are 6 children, and their mother is in jail for the third time...so 5 children are watched by the older sister...12yo. On the past few weeks I found out that a great friend of mine, had one breast removed because of cancer. I was just notified that a parent killed himself. Now, his wife, is a mother on her own, and the children, don't have a father's figure to instruct them as they grow. Last week, a beautiful baby was born!!! :D named Daniel: "God is my judge" I ...
