I marveled as I looked at the heavens and saw God's moon and stars along with our man-made satellites.
I stood in my yard in the dark of night
through the darkness I saw the stars so bright.
They shined in the same place the were before
hanging in beauty for me to adore.
They were in the same place where David peered --
a sight that little shepherd boy revered.
He used the word “majestic” to express
deep feelings he felt compelled to profess.
The awesome sight displayed something so new
as the lights of a flying plane flew through
and I waited some more on that crisp night
as across the sky flew a satellite.
What are we humans that God cares for us
even though we seem to fight and to fuss?
You’ve made us a little lower than You
and accepted our imitations too.
“When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place-- What are humans that you are mindful of them, mere mortals that you care for them?” Psalm 8: 3-4
the question upon the minds of most "what are we humans"

What are we? We are His children and His creation, and, therfore he is our heavenly Dad who takes care of us. I think it is great he gave us a night sky so full of brilliance to cover us each night.
Nice one Larry.

Larry, Aren't we glad that God does care about His children...life without Him would be terrible. You've captured a beautiful picture here to give to the reader as you saw the Heaven peering down upon you. God's creations are unbelievable but they are so real too.
It is amazing at all the beauty God gives to us, and so many find it hard to accept it, they spend so much time trying to improve where there is no room for improvements, thank you Larry for another beautiful write.
Fav pastime, looking at the heavens at night, checking out the stars, and all of the glorious hubble images.
Thanks for this, Grace n peace to you

No one paints such glorious displays as our awesome God. I, too, am a skywatcher: love the scenes He creates, each a one of a kind masterpiece! Well done, my (((friend))). Your words bless me today.
In "A Touch of Your Presence" are words that would inspire, encourage and strengthen one's soul when faced with challenges and difficulties and to know the awesomeness of God's power.
This book consists of a 150 pages of Christian poetry about the end of time and the Second coming of Jesus Christ not as a servant but as a King, the King of kings. To bring righteousness and peace to the earth and restore the government of God! Peac
When two men hit the reset button and decide to go out looking for the good in the world, they not only find it but also a lot more.

Granted, God gave humans intellect to broaden their/our knowledge, but did He mean for us to wreck His landscape?
