There have been visitors from Mexico in our neighbourhood lately.  Hundreds - thousands - it’s the painted lady butterfly.

 If you stand outside you can see them flying by by the dozens.  It’s likely that heavy rainfall in desert areas of Mexico has brought on this major migration - the biggest one in years.

The painted lady butterfly can be found all over the world.  They’ll be laying their eggs and then after the first frost they’ll head back down where they came from.  In actual fact, they won’t even be the same butterflies - they only live a few weeks.  A new generation will use their God-given navigational skills to find their way.

You may notice that we have a butterfly of our own here at CottrillCompass.com - up in the top right hand corner.  The monarch butterfly is another species that makes the amazing migration from Mexico to Canada and back.  It’s a reminder of the guidance of God.  If God can guide these little butterflies on their mission back and forth, of course He can guide us.  As our website verse reminds us - the Lord directs our steps, and our flights.  At only 8 days before my next visit to Mexico, it’s a good reminder.
