Little Things Matter

Ilan Shamir

Have a blessed Sunday, everyone. Hugs to all. ❤️

Sometimes I see things crawling across the floor that look like insects or other things.

I walk over to check it out and there is nothing there.

I looked out the door late one night and saw what looked like an upside down bowl with twinkling lights around the bottom.

For a few seconds I actually wondered if beings from other planets had come to visit my neighborhood. I had a weird feeling in my stomach.

I looked out the window late one night and saw a man dressed in black with a bright light looking at my water meter.

The words out of my mouth were “Lord Jesus please not again”. There had been several water leaks and water line bursts in our city and at my place in the past months.

I quickly went to the front door to see what was going on. There was no one there. I said “Now I know that man could not have run fast enough to get away before I got to this door.” There was no vehicle around so I knew he could not have driven away.

That really kept me wondering about how that happened.

Explanations….

What I see that look like insects, strings and other things are Eye Floaters. I have had them for many years and they still fool me many times.

What looked like something from another planet turned out to be a Mylar balloon that had floated to my neighbors yard and got hung in a shrub.

The balloon was slightly moving and the street light shining on it made it look like there were small blinking lights. That was a relief. 😂

A little later in the night I looked out the window again and I saw something familiar.

There was no man at my water meter. What I saw was a reflection in the window from that I was watching on TV.

I have learned that I cannot always trust what my eyes are telling me I see.

Have you or do you experience times when you think you see things that are not really what they are?

Over the years there was never ending smiles and laughter at our place.

When I see the photos they still bring me smiles and laughter.

Ollie loved looking at himself in the mirror. He would sit and stare at himself a few minutes every day. That was just one of the things he did to bring smiles and laughter.

That sweet boy loved hats and caps and had many of them. Note the shoes…he loved wearing dad’s shoes and socks. In this photo he had on my boots and dad’s shoes. lol

I got out of the swing to take photos, When I turned around I saw he was trying to drink my coffee.

Ready for a ride in the laundry basket. Big brother pulled her and some of the other children all through the house, they loved it.

Dad was a meat and potatoes man. He loved bologna and wieners. This was her way of sharing bologna with her dad.

These two were best friends. I never dreamed a cat and a rabbit would get along so well. They brought us a lot of laughter.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing some of the little things that brought so much joy and laughter to us.

Love, hugs and blessings and thank you for visiting, liking or commenting on the post.
