I only got to see a little bit of the eclipse on Wednesday … I’d somehow forgotten about it until Fidhlear sent me a text at 7:35pm saying, “Go look at the moon.” I stepped into the nearest pair of shoes, shrugged into a coat, and dragged my mother out into the backyard with me.
It was gorgeous. In the midst of a clear sky, the moon shone an almost unbelievable shade of burnished orange and was surrounded by a multitude of stars. I thought of that again when I read this comic today:
Georgie, I understand your frustration. I wish I could count the stars too! But you know what? I’ve got a friend who can. He’s the best friend a person could ever have, and He’ll be your Friend, too. His name is Jesus, and the Bible says that,
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. – Psalm 147:4
