One day he saw what he thought was some worms on the leaves of his manggo trees.He was about to get rid of them , when on closer look, reliased they were actually caterpillars , and so he left them alone. A few days latter, he was able to watch how the ugly caterpillars transformed to beautiful butterflies. He called both his daugthers to watch the remarkable creation of God. I am sure that sight was so special as most city folks will never get to see. While he relate that story, I was able to recall my precious moments too. Years ago I discovered a bird nest in front of my house where we hung out laudry to dry. I could see some eggs inside. I was careful not to make any physical contact with the nest as I remember reading somewhere if we do, they will abandon their eggs. Over the next few weeks I just watched from my window until the eggs were hatch. Meanwhile I had christened the mother bird Jamie and my oldest son who was about 4 or 5 at that time was with me. Day by day we were able to watch Jamie faitfully bringing food for her babies. One fine day, when we got back home we discovered the nest were empty. Apparently the birds had strong wings and were able to fly. I told my son, Jamie had taken her family to another place where they belong. We had come to term with Jamie and her babies'departure. Then one day my son called to me rather exhilaratingly. "Daddy ,Jamie's back. I went out to have a look, sure enough Jamie came back with her family. For the next couple of days she and her family droped by to say hello and then they were gone for good. I think she was just saying thank you for the hospitality.
Do you have moments like this?
