Star Gazing

I had a scene dancing in my head I would like to share with you. Laying in a field of brown grass on your back and a pouch is under your head. You're not camping out, but just enjoying the cool night air with a couple of your friends. The stars appear to be bright yet small because of the distance from you to them. All of a sudden, the stars are transformed to countless angels joyfully singing.
Next, you and your friends are overwhelmed with the sight, you rub your eyes to make sure you are not imagining this scene. You are so amazed by it, you make sure your friends are seeing this too. You are looking up in awe, your palms are sweating, your mind is rushing with thoughts of "how could this be." Then your ears are perked up at the beautiful sounds and wondering what they are singing and then you hear it "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth good will toward men!"
All of a sudden your heart that fell to your feet is picking itself back up and jumping out of your chest with excitement.This is exactly what happened in the  beginning of spreading the word about Jesus.
God chose the lowest of lows, the shepherds in the field, to hear about his son being born. He made the announcement in a most supernatural way. If you are a dad, you know how it feels to want to shout it from the stars that your son has arrived. God did just that.
There is great news to be shared not just at Christmas all the time. I encourage you to notice someone today that might be overlooked by others and share the good news of Jesus Christ.
I encourage you today, to rest in the knowledge that there is something bigger than your problems and He can take care of them better than you can.
Last, I encourage you to look at the stars and remember who created them and then thank Him. He'd love to hear from you.

Glory to God in the highest heaven!
