I kept shaking the poor caterpillar in the jar while it was in it's cocoon. My mom kept telling me, "Don't shake the jar," but of course, I didn't listen. The poor thing never made it through his metamorphosis. Sigh!<br /><br />At any rate, yes, Our Lord does have us go through some metamorphic times, doesn't He? Like you said, it's not always pretty, but hopefully, with faith, we will turn into "beautiful butterflies" for Christ (unless, we get impatient, and "shake the jar"). Let's hope that we never "shake the jar!" :) <br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />-L.
