Most of you know I'm crazy for astronomy. It has become worse... this love of the heavens, as my eyesight has been in decline.

This month, I received a telescope for my 65th birthday, and for the first time, I was able to see the moon up close with a high-powered lens. Honestly, I wasn't expecting to see it so well. My left eye couldn't see it at all, but my right eye focused on it for a few seconds.

I took this photo with the help of my husband, the giver of this extraordinary gift. To me, a view of the second level of heaven and a sky so blue, it took my breath away. I thought I'd share this wonderful gift with you all tonight.

We need something worthy to gaze upon these days, don't we?

When I look at the heavens, I am reminded of how big God is, and that His love is greater than these stellar creations. My problems seem so small in the moonlight.

Nehemiah 9:6 ~ Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
