I'm blessed (Part I)
Over the next couple of days/weeks I'm going to try to paint some pictures of little things in life that are priceless to me!
About 9:00 pm I was sitting at the computer after a day that I wouldn't call the best when I heard the distant rumble of jets. Being what you could call a flight freak or aircraft crazy I've gotten to where can ussually tell when the jet flying over is a regular commercial airline's jet or a military jet of sorts. This was the sound of fighter jets! So Deshka (my dog who also enjoys watching aircraft) and I jumped up and ran outside into the darkness of the night...talk about picture perfect! There was a nice cool breeze, a blanket of stars over my head, and isolated thunderstorms over the mountains all around me. I looked up and watched the flashing lights of the two jets, one a little to the right behind the other, soaring across the big dark sky...lightening flashed in the clouds below and lit up the night sky.
The flashing lights of the fighter jets grew smaller as the one caught up with the other and they soared side by side...
I'm so blessed to live in this country, where when I hear the jets, it doesn't mean "run and hide!"
Where I can look up at the stars and know that I have a hope beyond tomorrow, and a hope beyond the grave because the God that set the stars in orbit is the same God that cares about mepersonally!
