Tonight I'm sitting in the window of my house where you'd go down to the basement & I'm admiring the sky. Normally I hate nights like these, because the night seems so dark, like it's missing something. But, tonight it's beautiful. Like it's okay with being without the moon for a little while.
For years I've had a crazy love for the moon, I could sit & stare at it for hours & I would simply be content. As well as a sunset or sunrise. The sky inspires me, I guess. It's like God's little reminder to us all, telling us that He makes all things new. Because even though every morning the sun rises & every night the sun sets, it's still different. It's still unique. He adds color all the time to the sunset & makes it His own masterpiece.
He doesn't have to do this for us, but He wants to. He makes it indescribably beautiful for us, for a reason. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, we're looking at the same sky & admiring the same God as everyone else. There is only one person we have to thank for this. One person that gives us this beauty.
I guess that tonight I've taken a different appreciation for just how great & powerful my God truly is. & that even in a moonless night, beauty is found in the most unexpected places. There are giant bugs buzzing around outside the window & there is a momma bird laying in her nest right outside our front door. There is so much beauty unseen daily by the eyes of us humans.
Stop! Just slow your life down for a moment & capture this moment. I don't care if it's 3am when you're reading this or 3 in the afternoon. Capture this moment & remember it. What is out in this world that you drive by or walk by daily, but never truly take the time to capture it?
Well, it's late. & I think my thoughts have been well written for the night.
Goodnight my lovelies.
Grace.
