Christmas Star

Early this morning before anyone woke up, I was lying on the couch and looked out the window. The sun was just beginning to rise, so the sky had just lightened to a soft blue. There was a single morning star in the sky. It was so bright and beautiful. It really felt magical and made me think about the star that the shepherds and wise men followed to find baby Jesus in the bible story. It was a nice peaceful time for me before the kids woke up to find their Christmas presents this morning. *
