Last night / this morning, I awoke about 4:45 a.m. (much earlier than I usually do). On the way to the bathroom, I noticed bright moonlight streaming through the window blinds. I looked out the window and saw a beautiful almost full moon low in the Western sky. We have had cloudy skies for the past few weeks here in Michigan, so I had not seen the moon for awhile.
I wonder what other wonders of creation I am missing while asleep (or even while awake)!

I was recently driving on traffic-clogged streets during a snowstorm on my way to pick up my daughter. I was feeling a bit sorry for myself because I was embarking on two hours of driving to shuttle her from one friend’s to another’s and then home. I decided to think about all the wonderful things I was doing, including driving a beautiful hybrid vehicle, picking up my wonderful daughter and having freedom to go where I wanted. Just then a man in an open convertible drove by with a Christmas tree in the passenger side! I rolled down my window and called, “Nice tree!” He laughed and said he was thinking about leaving it right where it was.
I wonder how it would feel if we reached out to each other to celebrate what is great about each moment, especially when it may not be obvious?
