Just a Thought

Just an 'interesting' thought:
Every now and then you get one of those forwarded messages with a picture of a star or galaxy or other NASA picture in them. Usually they come with a message- "Doesn't this make you feel small and unimportant?" They usually come with some sort of threat, too. "If you do not send this to x number of people in x minutes, you will have bad luck for the rest of the week." Now, I don't know about having bad luck, but I do know that those pictures make me feel tiny. I mean, we are small compared to a tree! Next to the Earth, we are absolutely miniature! To the solar system, we are less smaller than microscopic. And compared to the whole universe... !
Yes, we are tiny. Physically. Yet spiritually, we are important enough that God sent His only Son to save us. So now, even the tiniest baby inside of its mother is much more important than any ol' star. Stars aren't always so great. I mean, imagine if I were playing a trivia game against a star. even if I got every answer wrong, I would still win. People can think. Stars can't. And that's that. And in some gazillion years, when that star blows up and becomes a black hole until the end of time, I will be watching it (hopefully) from Heaven. That is the end of that great globe of fire, but not the end of me. God gave us all immortal souls. Much more than the stars.
So, the next time you don't do too well in a homework assignment, console yourself with the thought that you did better than a star could have. Even if it could think, the star couldn't write down it's answers. For one thing, it doesn't have hands. For another, it would burn up its paper with it's heat! God gave us an extraordinary gift by making us human.

Anyway, there is your "interesting" thought of the day. Enjoy. You can tell that I was cleaning up my room for a couple hours with nothing to do but think... :)
