Did you see it? Did you get up?
I believe the reason I love to get up for any Heavenly manifestation are the memories left over from childhood.
I remember getting woke up, or being allowed to stay up late a number of times by a Mom that can see and name most of the constellations. She felt that missing a little sleep was worth the moments of seeing something truly amazing. To me these real eclipses (not the movies or books by Stephanie Meyers) have not lost their magical appeal.
I sat outside for about an hour in the predawn, and enjoyed the peace as I listened to the birds waking up and watched as everything lined up in perfect order. The Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned exactly for an eclipse to occur of course this cannot be by chance. I felt in Awe as I pondered over the amazing creations that a loving Father in Heaven has given us to appreciate. I am so glad for these rare occurrences that happen to remind me of His love for us.
If you happened to miss it do not worry a total Solar eclipse is coming our way on July 11th. Any one up for a trip to the southern Pacific Ocean, maybe the islands of Tuamotu in French Polynesia and Easter Island, as well as the southern tips of Argentina and Chile in South America to see it?
