STAYING RIGHT SIZED —
There’s something spiritual about lying under the stars on a clear night. The immensity of the universe is enough to put our life into perspective. It can lift the weight of the world from our shoulders. While we may feel our burdens are heavy and our responsibilities endless, just a glimpse of that twinkling night sky helps us realize we are not quite as important as we sometimes think.
But just as each of those billions of stars has a place in the heavens, so do we have a place in God’s plan. Our influence may be small, our light may not shine far, but just as each star has a place, we, too, have a role in the Divine plan. Through God’s love, we can enjoy our connection to the universe.
Today I will enjoy being too small to carry the whole world on my shoulders.
