Lady bugs have always had a special significance to us! We find them usually when we need them the most or need to spend a little more time reflecting on what's most important in life! Our girls were so excited of their find this morning on our windowsill.
Their tie to "Our Lady" has also been very intriguing and the significance is so very beautiful!
"In an age of faith when people saw earth mirroring heaven, this tiny creature was thought to enjoy the special protection of the Virgin Mary. Reversing its role in the past two centuries, this small symbol of Our Lady burst into prominence as a protector of people and their food supply. As the enemy of aphids, the ladybird has rendered service calculated in the billions of dollars in the past century alone. We have good reason to be grateful for this little beetle and to the Lady for whom it is named."~Brother John M. Samaha
Is there a reason this beautiful creature was given to us today?
~Just a thought for the day!
Happy Weekend!
