Starry, starry night




One last step in a typical bedtime routine,

a quick glance out the blinds

a last check on the surroundings we call home.

Unexpectedly, an audible gasp leaves my lips.

The black night is filled with hundreds of twinkling lights

and I am amazed.

I've seen them before, these flaming wonders,

taken them for granted even.

But tonight, this very night,

I am caught unaware.

And face to face I am

 with creation

and the One who creates.

Awestruck.




Ps. 147:4 
He determines the numbers of stars and calls them each by name.
