Stars & Light of Life

 
 
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!




The snow today brought about thoughts of the stars; the lesser lights. Thoughts particularly of the Christmas star (since it is that time of year) and of when that star appeared so many years ago that it must have surprised many who saw it.

Then, perhaps, instead of the snow, it was the holiday music, We Three Kings of Orient Are, which brought the thoughts about this star. Thoughts still coming and how it has been told that the wise men not the shepherds in the field followed the star and that Christ was not really born on Dec 25 and this was a date chosen by someone, somewhere and somehow. Thoughts that it had been told that 9 1 1 had some connection to the birth.

Thinker thinking, "But how could the timing be so?". Oh, be still, thinking thinker. Speeding faster than a twinkle of a star, fingers typed in 9 11 christmas star christ birthday. Up popped an article by Joseph Prescia, September 11th, The Birth of Jesus Christ

Answers and details to it all including facts from the Roman Catholic church, astronomy and the Bible. Thoughts now at peace and a smile at the thought that those who saw that wonderful star must have said:

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
