Encouragement

When I look at Thy heavens,
the work of Thy fingers,
the moon
and the stars
which Thou hast established;
what is man
that Thou art mindful of him?
[Psalms 8:3-4]
************************
"What's going on with
Saturn, Lord?"

"What, child."

"SATURN!
I just said an ARTICLE about it!"

[NOD.]
"What is troubling you, child."

"Well...lots of stuff, LORD!
Do You wanna a LIST?"

[PATIENT SILENCE.]

"So, LORD?
What's goin' ON
up THERE?"

"Tell Me,
My precious."

"Well, the article said that
Saturn's RINGS are
disappearing! Goodness,
first our economy's goin'
down the toilet, and
we gotta take out a
2nd mortgage just to
drive to the grocery store
to buy some toilet PAPER -
- and, now THIS!"

[GENTLE SMILE.]
"Who is in control, child?"

"YOU, Lord?
But, how COME?"

"How come what."

"THIS!
All THIS!
How come You're
not taking better
care of Your PLANETS?"

[CHUCKLE.]

"Well, where have Ya
BEEN?"

"Right Here, My beloved."

"Yeah.
Well, I just think You
could be doin' a better job,
is all."

"I'm not your President,
My child!"

(Smile!)
"No, Lord?"

"Hm, hm.
I'm your King."

"LORD!
We've already TALKED
about this! I grew up
in a DEMOCRATIC
society! You know we
don't have KINGS, here!"

[SMILE.]
"Where is here, child?"

"Eh.....well, it couldn't
be SATURN! It's
almost DISAPPEARING!"

[LAUGH!]
"All is My hand,
little one."

"I never really heard
of You being a King,
Lord: until I learned
about Jesus."

[NOD.]

"It still feels a bit
odd to me;
I mean, about the
King part."

"Go on."

"And, the Holy Spirit;
I admit it."

[NOD.]
"I understand."

"Maybe, You could
take Saturn in, for
a check-up, Lord.
But, be careful who
You go to: those
mechanics can really
rip you off."

[CHUCKLE.]
"Child?"

"Yes, Lord?"

"Get some sleep."
************************
Immediately after
the tribulation of those days,
the sun will be
darkened,
and the moon
will not give its light,
and the stars
will fall from heaven.
[Matthew 24:29]
