Coming home from bible study tonight, I was pleasantly reminded of the articles I used to write concerning my drive to work. I loved those drives with the sun peeping out of the cloud covers and the fat fellow changing into his sun-suit. The handiwork of God was all around and magnified by the presence of that cute little fat fellow playing in the heavens. Well, tonight his friend was there as big as life. The moon in all his full faced glory was lighting my way. Tremendous!
This full faced chubby friend is supposedly the smallest full moon this year. Smallest? He must have read the reports and decided to show the world that he was not the smallest... Absolutely beautiful and as playful as his early morning friend.
There were moments when he was right over my left shoulder as I headed south, and then he would draw back and be slightly behind my left shoulder as I headed south. At one point he was slightly in front of my shoulder and I was still heading south. I do believe he was trying to vie for attention just as that little fat fellow would do during my morning drives. It sure brought back some beautiful memories.
The light he shone on the earth this cool November night made some spots appear as snow and reminded me of a night long ago when I saw a field of red cabbage bathed in his light and how it too looked like a field of snow. The friends with whom I was driving could not get over how picturesque a field of cabbage could appear. I think this full faced fellow remembered that night as well because there was a smile that crossed his face...
The little full faced moon was better able to slide in various directions because of the darkness, and his movements could not be detected until he had slid into a new position. Once into Leander he slid quite a distance ahead and stayed there until I turned east. Here, he was visible through the windshield and he seemed to enjoy the full view. I lost him for just a moment as I turned onto my street, but as I pulled into the drive, there he was sitting right over my house... he had found his resting place and so had I. Thank you Lord for a beautiful night!
