Moon shadows

It was a good day today. I slept in a bit, not having to get up early for the electricians who over took my life for the past 3 days. I ate my bowl of cereal in a bed, then got up and did the usual morning routine. Once Autumn was up and ready to go, we headed out the door to Dame Judi's. Once there we chatted, went to a favorite shop, out for lunch, back to her house for tea, and then I ventured to see June and Wee Man. It was good to get my baby fix. I love that little guy. He is a delight. He is my heartbeat. A bit later we headed back to mom's as we were going to the family harvest party at the church my dad pastors.

I still find myself feeling like the odd duck as I watch other couples. I feel awkward. But was soon roped into a game allowing me to just be me. After 2 rounds of the game, Autumn and I headed home.

As we pulled up to the house and started walking to the door I noticed the moon shadows all around. I looked up and saw a clear twinkling sky and a bright full moon. It was gorgeous. It could have only been made better by a blanket of snow. It had a very wintry feel to it. Once in the house I put things away, then nabbed a throw off of the chair in the living room and went to the back yard.

The air was cool, but pleasant. It was so fresh when I breathed it in. It was refreshing. I walked to a wooden chair Dale made me, curled up in it, pulling the blanket snug around me. I looked up. As I did, the words of the hymn 'How Great Thou Art' started to roll around in my head. I stayed silent, letting the words slowly march on, start to finish. I looked at the round dot of the moon, the pin pricks of the stars, thinking how small they appeared. The moon cast shadows through the pine tree onto the grass. It looked almost dream like. It was peaceful. Looking back at the sky, I realized though the moon and stars look so small, that they really are enormous to be so far away and yet I can see them so clearly. I am the small one.

Thank you Lord for Your creation. Thank you that even in the vastness of the sky, You see me.
Thank you that I am Your own. Thank you for my eyes to see, my ears to hear the quiet, my skin to feel the coolness, my lungs to breath refreshment. Thank you for moon shadows that caused me to stop, to be still and to know that you are my God.
