About ten years ago I had many ants raiding my kitchen. They kept on coming like a mini plague. I tried brushing them away, but they seemed to just turn around and come charging back with rebellion. I was at a loss what to do with them. Then I noticed a few dead ants on the kitchen table. So I examined them up close with a toy microscope. Wow!! what wonderfully created lifeforms they are. So, I went to the library to research ants, and found out all sorts of amazing information about their life. After the library I went back to my kitchen, still not knowing how to deal with them. I did not want to harm them, but I also needed my kitchen table. So it came to my heart to make an agreement of mutual love and respect with them. I told them I loved them, and did not want to harm them; that they were allowed to use my kitchen, but they need to allow me to use it too. So I said, I will knock twice on the kitchen table to let you know I need that space now. I gave two raps, and all the ants stopped what they were doing and left the scene in single files within half a minute. I was gobsmacked, and in praise of the Lord. Our agreement is still honored to this day. Now I know all sorts of things about them, like there favorite foods. Whenever I use those foods (like sardines or avocados) I leave some out for them near there favorite enter/exit hole. I have also learnt how they behave to certain vibrations, levels of light, and temperatures. This helps me to be of better fellowship (patience, a helping hand, etc) with them. One unfortunate day I hastily turned on the kettle. When I came back to it I noticed four dead ants on the table directly under the kettle spout. I realized they were on the kettle when I switched it on. As the heat rose in temperature they were desperately looking for cooler ground. Eventually they must have found the spout to be there last stand.... In this realization, I cried my eyes out in deep grief of their inescapable terror and death. I love ants, and they love me too. In fact, ants were just one of many messengers from God, to remind me that God Loves them too. What an amazing story. I could not help but think of St Francis when I read your post.
