I was driving out to my prairie farmhouse tonight in all this snow in this little car that belongs to my Mom and I had to laugh.. I was on my own personal high, looking up at the Big Dipper and just held my breath. I had to wonder can I matter in a universe that is so big and so old, so dark and so cold on this night? The fact remains that many people feel insignificant when looking up on a clear night. The psalmist, awed by what he saw, said, ‘When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars … what is man?’ (Psalm 8:3–4). He could have counted about 1,500 stars with his naked eye.
I read somewhere once that the constants of our universe just happen to be right for life. Isn’t that beautiful! Most would say they feel insignificant, I can only counter that thought with that breath taking moment when you look up on a night like this and you just know God has a purpose for each of our lives.

‘ I know my body is made of stardust and yes I am an absolute romantic’…Es-tee
you are and always have been a romantic and God does have a purpose for each of us…
That’s a nice way to share yourself.
I know a place i Alberta where it’s so quiet all you can hear is your heartbeat and celestial music.
Thank you Bruce! ..and your in a beautiful place..
We are all made of stardust. It sounds like a line from a poem, but there is some solid science behind this statement too: almost every element on Earth was formed at the heart of a star. AND yes you are a romantic and that is a good thing!
Lovely Tazzy,, thank you,
What is my vision of God’s purpose for me? Whatever it may be, His purpose is for me to depend on Him and on His power now. If I can stay calm, faithful, and unconfused while in the middle of the turmoil of life, the goal of the purpose of God is being accomplished in me. Beautiful words Estee.
And yours too Bruno… thank you.
