IT'S WINTER, BUT KYM MCNABNEY'S GOT BUTTERFLIES!

For those of us in the throes of winter, butterflies and fall flowers seem a distant memory. But Kym McNabney of Illinois reminds us of country life when the snow’s blown and flown. Here's our latest 'Country Life Captions' entry. . . . 



Gods Creation

When I hear of one questioning whether or not there’s a God, I have to wonder if they’re missing the amazing creations right outside their window. There is so much marvel in a dainty little butterfly feeding on nectar from another of God’s beautiful creations, a flower.  

The Beauty of the Butterfly

Yellow, black, white, orange, green…Just a few of God’s colors for us to enjoy.

Butterflies: What an amazing assortment of colors and designs like the flowers they feed on.



Flowers for the Picking

Orange and red and yellow, reaching for the bright, warm sun above.

She’s also the Adult Pen Pal Coordinator for Willow Creek Community Church, as well as involved in other areas of the prison ministry.
