NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has snapped a stunning image of the Tarantula Nebula, shedding new light on the brightest region of starbirth in our galactic neighborhood.
Also known as 30 Doradus, the nebula is a large star-forming region of ionized hydrogen gas that lies 161,000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
Its turbulent clouds of gas and dust appear to swirl among the region's newly formed stars.
Miracles happen every day in every life...miracles as significant as a star being created. Sometimes, however, we fail to recognize the event as miraculous. For over 1 1/2 years now, Dave and I have witnessed countless miracles in our lives as we are fighting to live together as long as possible. People pop out of the woodwork wanting to pray for us...a teller on the phone, a checker at TJ's, every neighbor on the block, a radiation assistant, a carpet cleaner, a roofing guy, a cardiologist, our home care nurse and her prayer group in India...the list goes on.
We have never felt so loved, so supported or cared for. We are basking in God's love and provision for us. Even when things happen that I thought were wrong or untimely, turn out to be for the best and at the right time!
My vision of the future is so very limited. God's is endless. So I pick his vision for us, want what he wants for us. Today is a good day, a very good day.
Amen.
