Look at the Stars

Year 4-Day 30: Today, am grateful for reminders to step outside and look at the stars. 

Last night, we had dinner with some of our favorite people...our "family". Some blood and others by choice.  It is always good. Rarely is it fancy, but it is easy conversation and honest laughter.  The meal ended in leftovers...my favorite way to end it!

When we arrived at home, I was focused on getting in the house and putting the leftovers in the fridge. We had son number one and his sweetheart with us.  They, too, had left overs, but what do they do?  They stop to look up at the stars and find a few constellations they know in the brilliantly, diamond filled night sky.  I can find the Big Dipper and the North star. They saw so much more. 

We can always learn from our children.  Even when they become young adults.  

My mind was captured by the beauty and the vastness of the night sky. Focused on the beauty, it didn't seem quite as cold.  Perspective changes everything. 

The scriptures tell us that He numbers the stars and knows them by name. Think how much more He loves us. 

Today, am grateful for reminders to step outside and look at the stars...and our kids who still teach us to look at life with wonder.
