Bucket List: #2- Watch the stars on the beach & #36- Dedicate a star to someone.

I had SUCH an amazing time in Destin, Florida over spring break this year. However, I will explain the trip in a different blog. To look at the stars is the same as looking at a painting that God has designed for YOU. It is such an amazing feeling to look into the night sky over the roaring ocean and seemingly look into the eyes of Heaven. The stars bring a piece of mind that no other can. They remind us every night that we are not alone. Take some time and appreciate them; it really is relaxing:) It is not funny how much we take this beautiful blessing for granted! 
"If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
I named one star for my beloved Daniel. It is not official of course (you won't find it in any astrological book;). We laid in my backyard watching the stars one night and I decided to pick one for him. It had to be a random one though so he wouldn't forget which one it was. There had to be no doubt. To find this star, you have to look for the Big Dipper. Find it? Now find the corner of the "cup" that is the furthest from the "handle". Are you still with me? Now! Go directly to the left of this star. Do you see it? The little star that is staring back at you is Daniel's Star. Even though we are separated by miles and hours, we can look up into the night sky before bed, see this star, and know that we really aren't so far apart after all.
