I heard once.

Years ago,when we lived in Thompson, a minister from a Nazarene church performed a poem or reading from an old Black Gospel story of creation. It was beautiful and all I can remember is a few thoughts from it. (excuse me if you know the REAL poem as it should be told). It said that God sat down one day and took a little mud and formed it into a ball and flung it out into space. He called the ball earth. Then he took a bit of His glory and set it in place to keep the ball warm and lit up. He called the light the sun. He sprinkled some dust from His robe all around the whole mixture to light up the sky. He called these bits of glory dust stars.... and the story continued. I LOVED the feeling of the BIGNESS of GOD and the littleness of us. I think this is a time again to remember the BIGNESS of GOD. Although we like to think we are in charge of our life and the world, we are but a speck, (an important speck to God) but a speck in the whole scheme of things. To know HE IS IN CHARGE of the big picture is comforting.
