Getting to know you and seeing stars.

We were invited to a BBQ. It was at the home of a co-worker (manager) and friend. He and his wife have a lovely large acreage south of town.

Many co-workers were there also. It was good to meet the wives and the husbands and get to know them personally, so that when some of them walk into the office where I work, I can recognize them and call them by their first name.

It makes a difference I think.......to be able to call someone by their first name. It shows that you have taken an interest in them as people, to remember their name.

The host and hostess were gracious. A ton of food was served. Host took kids old and young on a hay ride around the back 40. There were cats and kittens to play with and husband and I took advantage of that special gift.

The yard was beautiful. The lit up pond sparkled in the night sky. Geese flew overhead. Sparks from the outdoor fire rose and danced their way upward, mingling with the noise of laughter.

I count it a gift from an awesome God to enjoy evenings like that..........fellowshipping with friends and gazing to the heavens where a trillion stars splash the velvet blackness of night.

Our God is an awesome God.
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power and love
Our God is an awesome God.
