Starry, starry night....





Every night when I take the dog out before bed, I gaze up at the sky. Many nights I have a clear picture of the stars. I feel lucky to see them because for many years I haven't. The reasons? City lights, and not taking the time.

As I ponder life, while gazing up and trying to pretend I'm not afraid of the dark, I am reminded of the wonder of the creation. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.... I am so thankful for my peaceful minutes each night. God truly loves us. His Son, Jesus Christ, atoned for us. What else matters?

Often people say to take time to smell the flowers. I say, take time to gaze at the sky each night. The stars, the moon peeking through clouds, and the peaceful calm are worth the few seconds.
