Shooting stars
8/14/2010 7:10:20 AM by: Elsi

We moved softly through the silent house, eager to see the Perseid meteor shower, and stopped, frozen by awe at an expanse of stars unhindered by city lights. “When I consider Your heavens,” I whispered from Psalm 8, “the moon and stars which You have set in place … Oh, Lord, how majestic is Your name!”

Necks aching, we stared at the sky. Northeast, we had been told. Where … when … Oh! Look! More waiting, until there’s one! Streaks of light across the heavens.

Someone began to sing. Another! Chris Tomlin’s “You set the stars in their place, and You know them by name … You are amazing, God!” Look! Seven teens and their leaders, lying under blankets on the splintery deck or on benches, singing of stars and their Maker.

We tiptoed back to bed at 3:20, overwhelmed by the glory of God’s creation, singing praises, filled with joy.
