The heavens proclaim his righteousness and all peoples have seen his glory. Ps 97
The practice of going outside before bed to gaze at the heavens and all the stars in the sky has been with me for many years. The stars are so bright and fresh looking, some 'sparkling' and 'winking' , seemingly just hanging there . Somehow it has a settling effect and speaks of the greatness and magnitude of our God and his presence and I stay awhile in the quiet and the peace. I think of the three wise men and how they saw the bright star in the east and followed it until they found Jesus. Star gazing at night draws me to Jesus, to reflect, to be nearer. Tonight, go outside, gaze at the stars and think of the star that drew people to the Christ child.
Mane Nobiscum Domine - Remain with us Lord. Anne, servant of the Lord.
The star in the east.
