Various friends have been commenting on Facebook about being
able to view the Geminid meteor shower last night. I too put on a jacket and went outside late
last night to gaze upward at the skies in hopes of finding a shooting star to
wish upon. However where we live there
is too much light pollution to see stars.
Only the very brightest are visible in a small patch of the overhead
sky. I thought of the saying, “When it’s
dark enough, you can see the stars.”
People use it to say that often in our darkest times, the presence of
God is more evident. I was disappointed that I couldn’t see the meteors last
night but I do know that even when I can’t see the stars they are there in the
same way that our Creator’s enduring presence is there even when we can’t see
it.
Holy God, we often have tough challenges and sadness in our
lives. Thank you for always being there
to lift us up and restore our joy. Thank
you for the beauty of nature especially the sun, moon and stars that bring
light into the darkness just as your Son did.
In his name we pray. Amen.
Blessings,
Paige
