He's Got the Whole World in His Hands- Marian R. Carlino and Kevin Keyser

Look Up!!

Look Up!!!
I was standing in the "courtyard" at St. Joe's last night waiting for the kids to arrive. The night sky had many clouds. As I was facing east, a bright light began to show its round curves. Gradually, the bright light began to show more of its shape. I was mesmerized as the form took command of my view. The rounded half circle continued to rise peeking through the clouds and illuminating the dark night. As it came to full circle, this object was a dazzling reflected white. The clouds traveled past it horizontally as it continued its movement upward. The huge white circle seemed to pick up speed as it took its place in the sky. The higher it seemed to go, the size took on a less commanding appearance. But, its white brilliance still left me in awe. I wanted to share the experience with someone so as a co-worker walked out onto the "court', I motioned to her to watch. We stood in the dark admiring the light.
A picture I could not take. In a photo lens the magnificent round object would appear as a dot...nothing special. But, oh, on this night, this object often taken for granted.... one special to Earth but just a piece of rock in the universe. This rock, called Moon, once again reminded me that light means all the difference in a dark world. Hello Moon. We don't always appreciate you. Last night I did!!! Thanks Moon. Thanks God for being so creative.
Look Up!!!! That is where you will find the light!
