The Majestic Heavens
By Larry Linville
I stood in my yard in the dark of night
through the darkness I saw the stars so bright.
They shined in the same place the were before
hanging in beauty for me to adore.
They were in the same place where David peered
--a sight that little shepherd boy revered.
He used the word “majestic” to express
deep feelings he felt compelled to profess.
The awesome sight displayed something so new
as the lights of a flying plane flew through
and I waited some more on that crisp night
as across the sky flew a satellite.
What are we humans that God cares for us
even though we seem to fight and to fuss?
You’ve made us a little lower than You
and accepted our imitations too.
“When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place-- What are humans that you are mindful of them, mere mortals that you care for them?” Psalm 8: 3-4

Love this one since we are going to go fall camping soon and we always have a camp fire and sit and look at the stars if it is a cold clear night---such a wonderful feeling.
