Star Gazing

Here in the country we can see far a wide since our homes are on five acre parcels. In the morning we can watch the sunrise from our backyard (except I am NOT an early bird so that would be rare for me!) and at dusk we can watch the sunset from our front yard. Late at night (God knit me in my mother's womb as a night owl after all) we can sit in our yard or lie on our backs on the lawn and peacefully gaze at the moon and the many stars.

It was amazing to think that up and down the state of California or even in other states or other parts of the world, anyone who looks up at the sky can pretty much see the same things we are seeing!

It reminded me of the song from Disney's "It's a Small World...."

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears, it's a world of hopes, it's a world of fears, there's so much that we share that it's time we're aware it's a small world after all.

It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small, small world.

There is just one moon and one golden sun and a smile means friendship to everyone, though the mountains divide and the oceans are wide, it's a small small world......

It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small, small world!"

Psalm 19:1 says The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

Tom purchased a real star for me as a Christmas gift in the first year that we were dating. There is a country song that Tracy Byrd sings and it goes like this......

"I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars, He sure knew what He was doing when he joined these two hearts...."

Getting off track, sorry. But I DO thank "The Keeper of the stars" for putting Tom in my life and "for joining our two hearts." Tom truly was the very first blessing I received from God in my adult life.

Anyway back to my star. My very own star is registered with the U.S. Library of Congress, Copyright Office and it is insured against duplication by Lloyd's of London. I completely forgot that I had a star of my own until I was star gazing the other night.

That's when the thoughts in my ADHD brain realized that God created everything I was gazing at and it was so amazing! So now when I think about "star number MAG 08.5 RA 14h 23m 37.95s Dec+14o 18' 31.41" being named "Suzie," it is so very awesome to think that one of God's grand creations in His small, small world, is named after an ADHD me! How amazing! Thank you very much God! You are so awesome in deed!
