Ladybug Lila, her red shell gleaming, called her friends to gather. Nearby, Bumblebee Ben hovered, his tiny wings humming a soft, inviting tune. Antonia the Ant lined up with her sisters, eager to begin. The air was serene, filled with anticipation and the warmth of friendship.
"Let us pray together," said Ladybug Lila, her voice gentle yet strong. "We give thanks for the gifts of the garden and for each other," added Bumblebee Ben. The insects closed their eyes, their tiny bodies radiating peace.
"I am grateful for the sun that warms us and the rain that nourishes our home," whispered Antonia the Ant, her antennae waving in thanks. Bella the Butterfly fluttered her wings, shimmering in the light. "I feel joy in every flutter and every flower we share," she declared softly.
Darius the Dragonfly zipped around the circle, his iridescent wings catching the sun. "May we always have friendship, love, and gentleness among us," he proclaimed. Bumblebee Ben added, "Let us trust one another, be humble, obey the ways of nature, and find peace and protection in our home."
A warm voice, gentle and kind, resounds in the hearts of every insect: God. "Thank you, insects! You’re great!" The insects’ hearts swell with happiness, and a sense of unity wraps around them like a soft blanket.
Ladybug Lila led the group in a joyful dance, their tiny feet tapping on leaves. Bella the Butterfly soared high, tracing loops in the sky. The insects knew their prayers had been heard—and that, together, their voices made the world a little brighter.
