Once upon a time, there was an elegant and beautiful butterfly named Beauty. She liked buzzing around the garden and playing with charming flowers. She refused to play with other butterfles which were not beautiful. She would never stop by the small unattractive flowers.   One day, Beauty met another butterfly named Mercy. As Beauty approached Mercy, she found that Mercy was crying. ‘Why are you crying?’ Beauty wondered and asked. Mercy answered, ‘Daisy starts wilting, She is going to die.’ Daisy was a tiny white flower which was unattractive. In Beauty's mind, Daisy was not important. It was insignificant as it could not make the garden more beautiful. Beauty did not understand why Mercy cared so much about this little flower. Mercy was deeply concerned and explained to Beauty that in God's eyes, Daisy was his beloved creation. And God saw everything that he had made was very good. Though Daisy was small and unattractive, she helped to provide nectar every day and her life was precious. Remembering a Bible verse, "For God everything is possible" (Matthew 19:26), Beauty and Mercy prayed together.   Day after day, Mercy and Beauty prayed and cared for Daisy.
