The Sun, The Moon, and The Stars
Checklist for Sunday: Get groceries: (fitness tip-- make your grocery list before you go and stick to it, so that you aren't tempted to buy things that don't fit into your calorie budget such as doughnuts, Sara Lee cheesecake, chocolate covered oreos, etc.; 9AM personal training session, church, picnic lunch with Caelee (my granddaughter), help a dear friend organize her clothes closet, do lanudry,
mini-church, and blog. With this itenerary, I knew that I would need to set the alarm early so I could squeeze it all in. So, I was up and going by 7:15AM. To my delight, as I backed out of the garage, I could see a beautiful coral and baby blue sunrise. And, as I drove west toward the grocery store, I saw an ivory, full moon. Each was where they were suppose to be, "And God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. And God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.(Gen. 2:16)." I believe that God has placed each of us, just as He has the sun and the moon and the stars, to give light to the expanse. When you "place" something, it implies that there may be change or movement from the original starting point. Today, as I heard Pastor Mike's words of encouragement, and have seen my church family respond with honesty and compassion to one of Satan's most tragic attacks, I know that God can place each of his children where they need to be, just as He does the sun and the moon and the stars--to bring light. Are you a sun, a moon, or a star?

This post makes me think of the beautiful moonrise we saw on Saturday night. It was a full moon - a beautiful harvest orange color. It was low on the horizon and just stupendous! How great is it that God did that just for our enjoyment!
