What a beautiful evening...the morning and afternoon were not so much but the evening was amazing. I spent the evening underneath the stars at the lake tonight with a very close friend discussing life and all of it's little oddities. We talked about several things but more importantly it was what we didn't talk about that made the evening so wonderful.
We didn't talk about the difficulties of our day. We didn't talk about the latest Drama that had unfolded. We simply laughed! We laughed because we could, because we knew that no matter how crazy the day was there was a good reason to be happy and enjoy it tonight.
We shared stories and contemplated the stars above the sky. I began to think about my amazing life and everything that God has blessed me with. I asked my friend when the last time they remember sitting under the stars in the black stillness of night and gazed up in awe of what God had created.
I feel like the stars are Gods way of showing off and revealing his greatness to us. There is a whole universe out there that is undiscovered. So vast the human mind cannot even fathom it's depths....and yet we find it difficult to let go of the days latest frustration...We hold on to the smallest detail of life as if everything that follows hangs in the balance. Almost like we think God isn't capable of managing it....yet he holds the stars in his hands....They sparkle for him alone. We see their beauty but only God can truly comprehend their value.
If you get the chance sometime this week stop and look up. Take in the feeling. We are so small when placed against the night sky...However, the great value to God is not what is hung in the sky...but rather, the heart that beats behind the eyes that are viewing it...You!
