Moonfall

Steve and I went to see the movie Moonfall a week or two ago.  It is the story of the moon falling out of orbit; it almost crashes into the earth - our heroes save the day.

There are things in life we take for granted - the orbiting of the moon, the rising and setting of the sun.  Our own breath each morning as we step out of bed, the presence of our family when we come home from work.  Our jobs, our groceries (both of those if we are lucky).

What happens when what we take for granted is no longer there? When our normal routine is upset? When we have to shelter in place during a pandemic or look for work when the pandemic costs us our job? What about when the loved one dies, and it feels like the moon is falling out of orbit?

Our lives are punctuated by moonfalls.  We are blessed to be able to draw close to God during those time (and all the time), but the moonfall is still earthshattering.

Be careful what you take for granted.  Enjoy the blessings of your day and don't let them be obscured by worry for tomorrow.  Savor.
