Have you ever had moments where you regret not taking a picture?
I had that moment today. Again.
A little baby bug was found clinging to my newly washed t-shirt when I folded it this morning.
It was tiny and cute so I transferred it to an old towel nearby.
My first thought, which I must say, was horrible of me to think, was to throw it into the dark garbage bin or flush it down.
Then I stopped myself and asked, why?
It’s not doing anyone harm.
Thus, I decided to bring the little guy home.
I delivered it unto a Gumamela leaf, which he refused. So I grabbed a thick piece of grass and poked its claws until it transferred.
Definitely a moment that sparked peace and joy in my heart.
It made my soul swell with smiles.
It made me think how good God is.
I thanked myself I didn’t throw it away.
It’s an indescribable feeling, all brought to me by a little bug.
“I wish I took a picture,” was all I could say to myself.
I really wish I did. But special moments, even when not documented by photos, are deeply ingrained in our hearts and minds.
What I did today made me realize that all creatures have life and no matter how small, I think they too, deserve kindness and respect.
*Of course we should practice good judgment as some creatures are harmful! 😉
Fun fact: I was today years old when I found out this bug I found, is called the June Bug. They’re quite common in the Philippines.
