Lunar Eclipse

Did anyone get to see the lunar eclipse last night? My husband Ray and I did! As we were getting ready for bed last night we watched the news to see if we could find out when optimum viewing time was. When we heard that it would be between 2:30 to 4 in the morning we looked at each other and decided to set the alarm clock so we could go outside and see what we could see.

As it turned out, we didn't need the alarm set. I woke up at 2:48 a.m., went to the bathroom and quietly came back to climb into bed. Ray was awake and said, "Do you want to go take a peek at the moon?" So we got up and walked outside to look.

The moon was beautiful! It was partially red and we could see a dark spot which, we guessed, was the Earth's shadow. We stood looking up for a few seconds then Ray said he was done and wanted to go back inside. It wasn't until we came back in that it occured to me that watching Perseids and lunar eclipses probably isn't something that a lot of people do. "Am I weird?" I kept asking myself. Then it struck me; if I'm weird, then I'm married to the right person because we always do these things together.

I'm so fortunate to once again have this kind of love in my life. It's something that I never expected to happen again, but it did. I thank God for bringing this wonderful man into my life and giving me the opportunity to have someone to share His miracles with. If you have a chance, watch the Perseides or a lunar eclipse sometime with someone you love.

God bless our troops. Please bring them all home safely.
