COLLECTOR 1- KEINDAHAN CIPTAAN ALLAH

RAMA-RAMA MALAYSIA
Rama-rama, makhluk serangga yang lemah ciptaan Allah, sangat mengkagumkan keindahan warna. Berasal dari order Lepidotera dan beberapa family seperti Riodinidae ,Peiridae dan beberapa lagi.

Pada 24.4. 2007 Pos Malaysia dan Biro Filateli telah mengeluarkan Sampul Surat Hari Pertama yang bertemakan rama-rama. Bagi aku koleksi ini adalah menarik dan layak menerima 5 bintang penuh. Bersama-sama Sampul Surat Hari Pertama yang bernilai 30 sen terdapat juga folder yang benilai RM 5.50, setem 30 sen, 50 sen dan RM 1 dengan tebukan 14, Lembaran mini bernilai RM 5 berbentuk rama-rama dan buku setem bernilai RM3. Dicetak oleh Percetakan Nasional dan reka bentuk oleh Hazel Design menggunakan kertas tera air.

Sesungguhnya usaha Pos Malaysia ini amat dialu-alukan bagi menyebarkan maklumat kepada umum tentang khazanah yang yang patut dipelihara dan dihargai. Malaysia ini kaya dengan spesies rama-rama yang menarik. Bagi peminat-peminat pengumpul F.D.C , aku rasa hampir kesemuanya memiliki koleksi ini. Kalau tak ada rasanya...rugi yang teramat sangat.

Banyak perkara yang kita boleh belajar dari dokumentasi ini(F.D.C) dan dari rama-rama juga ada sesuatu boleh kita pelajari. Sesunguhnya Allah menciptakan sesuatu untuk dihayati dan untuk dipelajari seterusnya mendekatkan lagi kita kepada NYA

One day, a small opening appeared in a cocoon; a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.

It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any further. Then, it seems to stop making any progress.

So the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily.

But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shriveled wings.

The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand, to be able to support the butterfly’s body, and become firm.

Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. Never been able to fly.

I asked for Strength... and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for Wisdom... and God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for prosperity...and God gave me a brain and brawn to work.

I asked for Courage…and God gave me obstacles to overcome.

I asked for Love...and God gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for Favors...and God gave me Opportunities.

"I received nothing I wanted...but I received everything I needed."

"Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and know that you can overcome them."
