Sunset at Azure Window, Gozo

I watch set a burning ball of gas tens of millions of miles a way, one like billions of others and that is hundreds of thousands times more massive than the pathetic rock floating in space I sit on now. In two weeks, a blip in the 13+billion years of the existence of everything, have I managed to cover an island not even a quarter of the size of the 207th largest country in the world on a planet where over two thirds of the surface is water. How small is my existence.

Yet it is not the ball of gas that moves from I, but I that curve away from the gas, moving hundreds of miles an hour, rotating on my rock. I am in control of my destiny. My life is small, insignificant on the grand scale of the universe, yet I am in control of it and I appreciate that with my whole heart. Thank you Jesus
