Painful events dominate the news. Conflict, loss, injustice, and uncertainty demand our attention—and they should not be ignored. But they are not the only things happening in our world. Every day, people are also healing, protecting, feeding, researching, rescuing, and rebuilding.

Healing doesn't always arrive with a dramatic breakthrough. Sometimes it unfolds so quietly that we only recognize it when we look back. In this personal reflection, Rev. Sheri shares how an unexpected milkweed plant and a Monarch butterfly became a powerful reminder that the Creator is often at work long before we can see it. If you've ever wondered whether you're making progress, this gentle reflection may help you recognize the healing that has been quietly growing within you all along.
