Night sky



One of the hightlights of working night shift is the drive to work! Tonight is a warm, humid night. The moon is almost full and casting yellow light on my hands as I drive, and the stars are twinkling alongside the bright moon. Soft music is playing and I can't help but think of God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Words from Psalm 8 come to mind "When I look at the night sky and see the work of Your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place—what are mere mortals that you should think about them.."

I must admit, my heart has been heavy tonight with some great concerns. However, I am thankful for the joy that the "night sky" brings.

I arrive at work, my 84 year old father is in the lobby greeting me with some Pennsylvania-Dutch treats, "whoopie pies" to share with my co-workers.

So I begin another night shift.

New beginnings....

L
It is late, the candle is burning, I have begun a new adventure, blogging! I enjoy the late evening time, especially when there is a cup of tea in my favourite china cup and another with whom to share intimate conversation.
I have named my blog "candlelight conversations" not only because I enjoy the stillness and quietness of enjoying the late evening, but because I have been working steady nights for almost two years now. So the title refers to the night time, which I have begun to have as my time to be up and about, to work, and be comfortable in.
I'm hoping that this new experience will give me an opportunity to process my thoughts, vent, and who knows, may-be recieve feed back now and again.
So here goes my first blogging experience....Connie
