"Have you even been in the middle of a city, and looked up at a clear nighttime sky? What do you see? Not much; maybe a star or two. Or even during the day, what do you see? If it’s a clear day you probably won’t end up seeing much because the sun will blind you. But how about when you are drawn back into the country, or a place where light is absent; what do you see? You see MILLIONS of stars. The funny thing? They have always been there. Never once did they leave. But in life, when we are surrounded by the fast pace of our busyness, and when things are going well and the sun in shining, we don’t see the stars. It is only when things go dark, and you find yourself cold, confused, and alone, that you look up to see the OVERWHELMING light that lies in a starry nighttime sky. God has always been there, and always will be…whether you see Him working or not. Let us not forget the He who is always lovingly looking down on us, guiding us in each step we take." ​

Looking up a nighttime sky is always a humbling experience for me. Thinking of all that lies out there, beyond me and my little, busy world.

This quote was a great reminder to embrace all of those little lights and all the possibilities that lie in front of us.

A great reminder to open our eyes to all the beauty and capabilities that exist around us. To open our minds to the opportunities missed because of all the busyness of our everyday lives.

Make it a point today to look up at the sky tonight and think a little differently about what might be next in your life.

Make it a great day.
