stars

I have probably talked about sitting under the stars before but I really need to talk about them again.  Over a week ago, I was sitting under the stars out in the woods, next to a lake by a bonfire.  Oh my, it was gorgeous.  I was sitting by myself just listening to the woods and the crackling of the bonfire and two things I could not get out of my head.  One, I really wished I had someone to share that with and two, God is so amazing.  The sky was the clearest I had seen it in a while and I could not believe all the little noises that went along with outside.  Sitting under the stars with the vastness of the sky and the billions of stars that shown before me, I could not do anything but thank God for the wonderful creation He had made.  Isn't that what our surrounding is supposed to do?  Are we not supposed to look at the stars or nature, or the simplest of things and say thank you to God for all that you have done?  I know that most who read this have heard the Bible verse "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork" (Psalm 19:1).  Just sitting in silence and letting God talk through his creation is one of the most amazing things you could ever do.  I suggest to go out and just be still with God and everything around you.  You will be amazed at how peaceful the world truly is and how wonderful and magnificent God will always be.  Sigh..... I love you, God.
