Ecclesiastes 3:11A

"He hath made every thing beautiful in his time..." Ecclesiastes 3:11A

Life is a beautiful, beautiful thing. A thought occurred to me. My life is akin to space. All of humanity are the stars that surround my star in the midnight sky. Our lives can seem pretty dull and mundane hanging out up there in the sky. Every so often though, excitement flashes through our existence. New stars, new friends, wink into existence around us. They bring a new beauty and a new light to shine into our lives. New perspectives are found due to the luminosity of the LORD in their lives. A change is brought into us thanks to the generosity of God. He brought them into our life to hone us and make us the men and women we were meant to be. To fill the shoes as they were meant to be filled.

Sometimes those stars stay for our entire lives. Sometimes it may be for a season. We have to learn to accept God's will. No matter how it saddens or threatens to break our heart at the thought of the loss we must endure. Our life will be a dimmer place when that light is gone. God will make his call; they will shoot off like the shooting star that they are. A light such as these were not meant to be hoarded. They are to spread their light as the sun does...hmmm.. as the Son does! Shooting stars, I hear, are beautiful things. The physical world can not compare to the spiritual. It is a pale reflection at best of the beauty of God. So imagine a spiritual shooting star. We all have them in our lives. Treasure and cherish the time you have with people. Some star's light is just too beautiful to be kept in one part of the galaxy!!
