Written In The Stars

Story One of my favorite quotes is “without darkness, how can one see the stars?” And, if you’re like me, you’re fascinated by the stars and their shining beauty. How is it that we appreciate the awesomeness of the stars illuminating the dark, but we don’t quite recognize what the darkness in our own lives reveals to us?  In my own life, when I’m going through dark periods, I find it hard to see the good things happening around me. Or, if I see them, I struggle to appreciate them. I get so distracted and caught up in my own woes that the shining light that could help pull me out of the dark seems insignificant. Does this sound familiar? As hard as it is to go through dark periods, sometimes, the most important things can only be seen in the dark.
