Moon in May

Now that winter is gone and spring is here, I've been out walking as part of my daily exercise. This evening I decided to go out just before dark to get some fresh air and relieve some stress. As I was walking down my street, I was thinking and brooding about an issue going on in my life. It never seems to end and I dont want to deal with it anymore. I think we all know that feeling.
I got to the end of my road where it meets Robinson Rd. and turned around to go back. Just as I turned around I was stunned to see the most majestic full moon glowing above straight down the opposite end of the road before me. It was golden with a halo around it shining through some wispy pinkish and bluish clouds. I thought wow, Lord, this is breathtaking!
As I stood and stared, in that moment I was reminded that God is the creator of the universe and is more than capable of taking care of me. I saw God in that moon because only God our Father could create something like that.
I also realized in that moment, that as I was walking and brooding that whole time, I just had to look over my shoulder to see that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is behind me every step of the way.
