The moon and the stars.

Genesis 1:14-19 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

sunrise sunset starry night sky awesome!

AMAZING!

Still this amazes me. Not just the idea of how awesome God is that He alone created all we see, all we hear, all we touch, all we breath, all we feel...ALL...But that He was so brilliant. Knowing that a million miles away from here, a person can be sitting on their porch watching the sun fade into night, their eyes will behold the same glorious sight of color streaming through clouds in the late evening sky as my eyes see from my porch. In the early morning hours just as dawn graces the sky, there is someone half a world away standing in awe of the very same sight as I. In the deepest dark of night when sitting alone under the brilliant night sky there is another looking on in amazement that we share the same view of heaven. The sky that covers over me is the same sky that covers over all of creation. We share the same moon, stars and sun. We see the same glorious sunrise, graceful sunset.

AMAZING!
