I was up in the middle of the night and saw a star. Had I ever seen it before? As I looked, it gave me a time to think about my place in God's world.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
I don’t know your name
Do you live in a constellation?
Among all the stars in the sky you have my attention.
I’m sure there are scientists who have studied you
And perhaps they gave you a name
Or maybe you’re just a nobody
As far as stars go.
Were you just a bright and twinkling star
When a man saw you from his cave?
Did the Magi get a look at you
As they followed the Bethlehem star?
So many great men and women
Have gazed into the sky.
Did they take the time to notice you?
Why have you caught my attention this night?
Are you giving a message for me?
Could it be that you’re trying to tell me
To be aware of the small things in my life?
I may never see you again
Or least I may not know where to look.
But for this small moment
You have reminded me of God’s vast creation.
