"The Lesson of Lightning Bugs"

“Lightning Bugs” by Steve AdamsMy friend’s son just graduated from kindergarten and saw me doingyard work. The next thing I heard was this little guy voice asking, “Mr.Steve, what are you doing?” I had to chuckle under my breath.I have been showing him how to identify Dogwood, Sassafras andHickory trees and, as he wandered over, I took a leaf and asked himwhat tree that was from. Questioningly, his reply was, “Dogwood??”Then, in typical little boy character, he was running off to catch a bughe saw flying and returned a few minutes later proudly showing me alightning bug.We laughed over catching them and he wondered if he caught a “wholebunch”, could use them as a night light. Instantly, I was transportedback to my own childhood and fondly remembered spending countlesssummer evenings on the farm doing and wondering the same thing.Sometimes, it is nice to stop the busy schedules and let an aspiring firstgrader remind me of the finer and simpler pleasures of life. Sponsored by the Caylor Group Wealth Management in Lynchburg VA.
