Tonight I took the boys outside before bedtime. I have downloaded an app on the IPad called Star Walk. I showed the boys all the different planets and stars etc. They were full of questions. Braden asked where the world was. Brooks wanted to locate the space station, the sun, Mars etc. As we looked, I could not help but stop to think about how small we really are. When you take the time to look out into the night sky at all of Gods creation you cannot help but to be thankful. For me, I was thinking about how we as humans get all caught up in the day to day things and so worried about things we really cannot control. We worry about tomorrow, next week, next month etc. yet as Christians, it is refreshing to know that God is already there! Just take time to stop and look at all God has created and then realize out of all of this he sent his son to die for us. For those of us that are Christians, we now have eternal life and will be with him when our time here is over. We need to be that light to those around us that do not know God. We need to be that difference that others see when it seems all hope is lost. I hope, if your life is as busy as mine seems to have been lately, that you will take time to stop and look around you. Take a second to thank God for all he has done to bless you. Sorry to be preaching tonight, but this was on my heart and mind. Have a great weekend everyone!
