It's a Sign!!!!

You hear so many wondrous stories of how folks are always seeing everyone and everything in something or another. You hear of how people see the Virgin Mary on a skillet, Jesus on a piece of toast or Elvis in the clouds. There are those who claim to see images in everything from dog fur to chicken feet! Personally....I can relate to these claims! Not that I have ever claimed to see any real person nor have I ever had any "Divine Healing" from such sightings but I do see things...in a bizarre sort of way. This happened again recently!



Son and I were in the kitchen where we were in the midst of baking when the sighting occurred! He was blending together some sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg when suddenly there in the jar was...get this....an image of a CANDLE! In his usually frenetic way (yeah, right) he said "Candle." I looked at him a bit confused as to whether he wanted a candle or whether a lit candle was suddenly spewing flames up the side of the wall or whether he just at that exact time became clairvoyant and saw that we would need candles in case of a power outage. "Huh?", I questioned? He calmly pointed at the jar of sugar and spice blend..."Candle". Michael is a man of few words and well, this was about as few as you can get when trying to explain some paranormal experience. I just stared at him for a few minutes as I tried to make heads or tails out of his one word monologue. Then as if by some magical power, I began to envision the "CANDLE"! I was excited! It thrilled me! I felt empowered! ....NOT! I did however see what he was trying to show me. There in the blend of sugar and spices was the outline of a candle or at least the reasonable facsimile of one. The short white candle was in a small holder and had a flame and smoke! Ok..so the sugar stayed in one place while the spices sort of swirled around and made a near likeness of what could be possibly be construed as an approximate image of something that looked kind of like a candle. (And if you understood any of that..perhaps you can see the candle!) Anyway..we ooohed and ahhed over the "candle image" for a few minutes before he started shaking the bottle again. The sugar and spices blended nicely and the candle was forever a thing of the past. As an afterthought...I am kicking myself! After all....I might have been able to sell this phenomenon some online auction for millions of dollars! What was I thinking???? Tomorrow I think I will start blending more sugar and spices and maybe Elvis will appear for me!
