STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT!

STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT.. FIRST STAR I SEE TONIGHT! I WISH I MAY, I WISH I MIGHT HAVE THE WISH I WISH TONIGHT! THIS OLD ADAGE HAS BEEN WHISPERED SO MANY TIMES WHILE LOOKING UP AT THE NIGHT SKY. HOPES, DREAMS, AND TEARS MAY HAVE BEEN STREAMING DOWN ONE'S FACE WHILE THE KIND CHILD- LIKE HEART DARED TO DREAM! ONE MIGHT WISH, PLEASE LET ME GET INTO COLLEGE. YET ANOTHER MIGHT ASK TO BECOME A MOMMY. THE WISHES THAT HAVE BEEN WHISPERED FIRST FROM THE HEART AND UTTERED TO THE SKY ARE A FORM OF 'FAITH'. GAZING UPON A CELESTIAL BODY SUCH AS A STAR LEAVES NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT GOD DOES EXIST! AT TIMES LIFE IS OVERWHELMING AND A STROLL DOWN THE STREET TO AN OPEN SPACE WHERE THE NIGHT SKY IS VISIBLE CAN ONLY LEAD TO A GAZE TOWARDS THE HEAVENS. AWESOME WONDER, PEACE AND TRANQUILITY AWAIT ONE BY SIMPLY GAZING AT THE HEAVENS! IF ONE DOES NOT HAVE A DAILY WALK WITH GOD, THE PERFECT CHANCE TO START IS BY WISHING UPON A STAR. ISN'T THAT A LITTLE BIT SUPERSTITIOUS, YOU ASK? I THINK NOT. GOD CREATED THE STARS, DIDN'T HE? AT TIMES, ONE FEELS THE NEED TO 'CATCH' A GLIMPSE OF GOD. STANDING OUTSIDE, LOOKING UP AT THE STARS MAKES ONE FEEL THAT GOD DOES EXIST! IF HE CAN CREATE SUCH BEAUTY FOR US TO GAZE UPON THEN WHY CAN'T WE FOCUS ON AN OBJECT SUCH AS A STAR TO SIT AND TALK WITH HIM! I AM BY NO MEANS INSINUATING TO 'WORSHIP' THE STAR, BUT TO TALK TO GOD WHILE LOOKING UP AT THE STARS. THESE SPECIAL LITTLE MOMENTS WITH GOD CAN HELP YOU CREATE A STRONGER 'WALK' WITH HIM AS YOU DEVELOP DAILY DEVOTIONAL TIME. PRAYING, READING THE BIBLE AND STRIVING TO BE A GOOD CHRISTIAN STARTS WITH A SINGLE STEP! WE GET SO TIED UP WITH DAILY STRUGGLES AND LIFE, THAT SOMETIMES GOD IS NOT PART OF THE EQUATION. SPEAKING FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS, LET'S START 'SPEAKING' TO GOD BY DOING THE SIMPLEST LITTLE THINGS SUCH AS LOOKING UP AT A STAR.... AND WE'LL SEE THAT DEVELOPING A 'DAILY WALK' WITH HIM WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AN OBLIGATION! THIS IS MY 'THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX' METHOD OF ENCOURAGING MYSELF AND OTHERS TO SEEK A STRONGER PERSONAL WALK WITH GOD! GOD BLESS AND I HOPE YOU 'GET ME!' ;) THANKS, SANDRALEE
