Somewhere out there...

Just went outside to throw a load of laundry in the washer and looked up to find a super clear night with a full moon lighting up the evening sky.

After a day of being home by myself... missing family and friends knowing that there is a lot going on in their lives, the moon and stars reminded me of the childhood movie "An American Tale" and the song- "Somewhere Out There". 

The lyrics say-  Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight... someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight... somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer... that we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there... and even though I know how very far apart we are... it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star... and when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby... it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky...somewhere out there if love can see us through then we'll be together somewhere out there... out where dreams come true... and even though I know how very far apart we are... it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star...

It is comforting to think that God created the sun to shine by day and the moon and stars to provide light by night... even in our darkest moments when we think we are all alone knowing that God hung each star is comforting.  It is also very nice to know that no matter where we are in this world... the same moon and stars shine above.

So even though I can't be with these loved ones in person... I can pray for the various people and situations knowing they are in the hands of a very faithful God.
