    The Rich Man and Lazarus  
    Luke 16: 19-31  
      
    A parable Jesus gave to them. “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and beautiful clothes, and he lived lavishly every day.” 
     “There was also a beggar by the name of Lazarus who sat at his gate each day and his body had a lot of sores.” 
    “And Lazarus wanted to eat the crumbs from the rich man’s table, but then the dogs came and licked his sores.” 
    “Some time had passed and both Lazarus and the rich man died. Lazarus was taken into Abraham’s arms and the rich man was taken into the fiery furnace of hell.” 
    “And the rich man was tormented in hell, and he looked up and saw Lazarus and Abraham a good distance away.” 
    “And he shouted and said, Father Abraham, please have mercy and be kind to me, and send Lazarus so that he can dip his finger in a little water and cool my tongue; for I am being tormented in these flames.” 
    “Abraham replied to him, Son remember in your lifetime you had only good and nice things but Lazarus only bad and evil things. Now he is in comfort, but you are tormented in these flames.” 
    “Moreover, there is a fixed barrier between us. Even if we could help you, we wouldn’t be able to cross.” 
    “The rich man said to Father Abraham, could you at least send him to my house?” 
    “I have five brothers there so that he can warn them about this place of torment so that they will not end up here.” 
    “But Father Abraham replied, They have Moses and the other prophets let your brothers hear them.”

Everything changed when Henry met Willy (Wings of Willy Series) ~ a wise butterfly who taught him how to recognize, name, and feel his emotions, and how to use his voice to share what was in his heart. 
    With gentle guidance, Willy showed Henry words like “I can” and “I feel”, and helped him see that speaking his truth brings real power. Together they laughed, cried, and discovered the strength that comes from honesty. And as Henry’s wings began to open wide, so did his courage. “I do have a voice! I do have a way! And maybe I’m meant to help others someday.”

In this heartwarming story, Henry flies from place to place ~ helping a firefly, caterpillar, grasshopper, bumblebee, and ladybug discover their voices, unfold their wings, and shine their light.
