Starting with the sun
Count them one by one:
A star for every blessing
A blessing for every star
Will never leave you guessing
Or wondering where you are
At least five thousand
Numerous as sand:
Visible to naked eyes
Brightening the darkest night
Sprinkling hope across the skies
Reaching earth at speed of light
Astronomical
Infinitesimal:
Deity’s dactylogram
God Himself is calling out
Here I am yes Here I AM
A silent heavenly shout
Beyond outer space
To the inward place:
YHWH’s tetragrammaton
His special revelation
God’s name and mind scratched upon
Ancient scrolls of salvation
Bethlehem’s story
Shekinah glory:
Historical guiding light
Revealed more than to Moses
God’s face once hidden from sight
Smiled unveiled in Christ Jesus
Day star arising
Darkness surprising:
The light of the world has come
Perfect God with human breath
Protoevangelium
Crushed the serpent’s head to death
Angels are singing
Christmas bells ringing:
Ornaments glow in the sky
Colorful constellation
Telescopes faith to the eye
Gospel annunciation

The stars were my very first introduction to our creator, nature in general doing the rest of the teaching. Long before the “church ladies” told me of their, sadly less powerful, version of him the stars had already revealed him to me as a rather awesome being.

Yeah, the stars tell a better story . . . one that is non-fiction and makes me weak in the knees. Thanks for reading me, faithful friend.
