God's Bling

I apologize...I am NOT a photographer. And my camera is 6 years old and has this obsession with focusing on everything BEHIND the object I am trying to get a close-up of.

Today we noticed Albert's chrysalis has bling! Can you see it? Tiny little dots of gold line the rim and also dot the bottom curves. When the sun hits the gold, it sparkles like nothing mankind could ever reproduce.
(See what I mean about my dumb camera?! It was more interested in the trim of our countertop! Grrr) The chrysalis is fuzzy but I liked the way this picture captured some of the sparkles. Neither of my pictures do it justice, however.

I couldn't help but be reminded of the similarities to my own life in Albert and his chrysalis. I am just an ugly worm (sorry Mom..."worm" works better than "larva"!). But I'm in my chrysalis stage and God has put little bits of His bling on me. One day I will emerge from my chrysalis and be perfect. Beautiful and clothed in white linen.

"Worm" is from hymns too - - - "for such a worm as I"

"For such a larva as I" just wouldn't sound the same - - -

I know what you're getting at, but somehow I have trouble thinking of you as an ugly worm, Keri. (Even a good metaphor has its limitations!) :-)
