Creation
I love the word, Creation. If I was that sort of person, Id name one of my kids that someday. But I’m not, so I simply will just state how much I like the word. It was rolling around in my head, what it means to me as I stared at the amazing moon we had tonight. This bright deep orange color; a harvest moon almost. The clouds looked like they were a lighting bolt through the moon, just a neat sight to keep me awake on my late night home tonight (first time closing my new store). Its very humid out tonight but yet I didn’t see any fireflies which I thought went hand in hand, I guess not. I’m glad I believe in a God who made such an amazing earth. That I have someone to talk to in thankfulness for all that He has made. Not only that but to know He made it for me, is truly amazing. Even if some of His creation I am not so thankful for (read: rule customers at work tonight) its the simple pleasures of creation, such as the moon, that can bring me back to the small things I forget so easily.

Oh I know JUST how you feel. Every once in a while, I walk out on a dark night and look at the moon and the stars and feel so moved and so thankful.
Of course, every once in another while, I walk out on a dark night and look at the moon and the stars and say “Evolution.” And every once in an entirely different while I walk out on a dark night and look at the moon and the stars and start thinking about all the astrophysics I taught myself in high school from Harvard lecture notes I got from the internet.
I’m guessing those last two you probably can’t identify with as much. Heehehhehe…heh…:cough:
Wow am I a loser.
You think so your a loser? I dont think so. Not eveyone gets deep thoughts thanks to the moon.
your post reminds me of the john piper analogy, of how we are to magnify god like a telescope, not a microscope.
a microscope makes tiny things look bigger than they are; whereas a telescope make things that look small, or even tiny, look like the enormous thing that they really are.
nights like you had, looking up at a huge moon that looks so small, make me feel like the small creature that i am, and dissolve the universe that i create everyday that make me the center.
thanks for your thought provoking post alisa,
