I go outside and count the stars in the black night. Their twinkling beauty amazes me in the moonlight. I forget my troubles, as I gaze up at the sky. It reminds me God is in control, and has me in his eye.

I love the stars in the skies of West Texas - they each look like a diamond platter. Thank you for the memory.

Thank you Sunlite. The stars in rural New Hampshire are also spectacular.
