Just to let you know…this won’t be a depressing post. So, keep reading.
Psalm 148:3
Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, all you shining stars.
On my way home from work tonight I saw a shooting star. Seeing a shooting star always brings joy to my heart. It’s like you are participating in a tiny moment of magic. If you had been looking somewhere else at that moment, you would have missed the falling glimpse of light. The one I saw tonight lasted longer than usual. It seemed to float through the sky in slow motion. I kept expecting the light to die out, but it hung on for a few seconds. It definitely brought a smile to my face.
And I know this sounds really cheesy, but if you don’t by now that I’m cheesy, then it’s time you found out.
When I see a shooting star, I feel like it’s a special way God encourages me a little bit. It’s like he’s saying, “See my beauty and my creation that praises me. I remember you and you are special to me, so I’m sharing it with you…you get to enjoy it too.” Like I said, cheesy, yet it makes my heart happy.
So, what are some little things that God has used to encourage or remind you of something this week? (If I ask a direct question, will you guys make comments? 
)
My name is Rhonda. I am blessed to live in a beautiful place out in the country with my wonderful husband. In addition to our "real" jobs (I work at a garden center and he is a teacher), we have a small farm where we raise vegetables, eggs and chickens to sell at local Farmer's Markets. We are currently fixing up/remodeling a house into which we will soon be moving...hopefully. In my free time, (what is that?) I enjoy traveling, cooking, crafty projects, reading and watching the sun set on the hills.
Rhonda, I too feel encouraged by God when he throws space debris at me.
Seriously…God’s encouraged me through some of the men on the Man Board. :fact:
Whenever I see a baby, I feel the same way. Just to think that God so intricately formed that child in a mother’s womb and then they grow to be as big as we are…just fascinates me.
What a great God we have.
God encourages me through my youth group kids. When I watch them love Jesus, it makes me love him even more.
Spending time at the river with my Auntie Rhonda makes me thankful for God’s creation… of both the river and of aunts like Rhonda.
