Great post Rosalynde. I have to admit I jumped to the end to catch the point…however, I repented of my ways, reread and loved what I found.

Very nice. I fell in love with dragonflies one summer floating down the Colorado on an innertube. As they were flying around they would occassionally land on my knee for a brief rest. It was fun to really study them for a moment. They are beautiful creatures.

Your children are lucky to have you for a mum, Rosalynde.

I loved reading this, Rosalynde. I wish I had read it yesterday. (I got a family tip-off that you had posted something)

Beautifully written! (But man, I think dragonflies are gross.)

“And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.” (John 17:10)

He gives a glory even to the dragonflies.

This is so bizarre. Just five days ago I was strolling on a golf course with my son and nieces and nephew (and always-in-the-way brother) when we came upon a beautiful, struggling dragonfly on the fairway. His fuselage was brilliant, spotted blue, with the cockpit domed eyes full of flash and mute beauty. We all remarked on how interesting he was, and sat there for minutes just staring at him before wandering on to other distractions. No stunning prose came from the adventure, but it still made me think about God’s creation.

What I’m saying is, I’m totally down with this post, RFW.

Certain mayflies live for only 24 hours. They mature, mate, and die in a day, “fulfilling the measure of their creation”. From the perspective of eternity, they are hopelessly insignificant, and yet they are some of the creatures and the “creeping things” that God called forth from the chaos.
