The Butterfly Boxby Gina of GPDesignsArt
This box definitely started with the paper. The symbol of the butterfly is so perfect for new beginnings. I thought of the transformative power of meeting Jesus, in someone’s life. And this box was born!!
I knew all along that for the right person, this box would have special meaning and would really encourage. It is the most expensive box I’ve made, but took tons of time. I knew in the end, it would be a special gift, and the Lord would match it up with the right person.
As the boxes sit on my table, crying out their testimonies to God and the Power of His Word, I just sit there, and silently thank Him, everytime someone picks one up to read it. I think—“ There goes Your power out into the world—thank you for letting me help!” I know that Word will not return void and will reach its intended target.The box sold this past weekend. A woman bought it as an early Christmas 
present for her God-child. As she walked away happily with it in a purple handled gift bag, I thanked God for allowing me to have a tiny part in the memory she is making with that child. When the child grows up, she will remember the giver of the gift—but more importantly, she will remember the lasting, eternal words of her Father in heaven-- “There for if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone, behold, the new has come!” That is why I started making these boxes. And it's why I’ll continue.
