NewEvangelizers: Butterflies at Wal-Mart?
“I love your dress!” came at me like a chant from a cheerleader. A second voice echoed, “I love your dress!” I look up to see two joyful women. “Do I know them?” I asked myself.
I didn’t come to Wal-Mart to seek wardrobe affirmation but, having checked out, was looking for my friend who would be checking out about now. I must have walked by the two women without seeing them until one of them put her hand on my arm to slow me down. Her touch seemed to freeze us in time. I barely was aware of the noisy crowd as if the three of us were invisible to them. The two women were all smiles. “We just saw a butterfly outside!” the first one said. The second woman chimed in, “Just like one of those on your dress.” She pointed out the particular butterfly by touching one on my dress.
