I am taking a break from my blog over Christmas in order to focus on celebrating with my family. However, in wishing you a very happy Christmas I would like to share with you some photos of stars I discovered on the Hubble Telescope site. Since stars feature in the Christmas story it seems appropriate to ’sign off’ for this year with some of these beautiful examples of Creation.
This is a very small sample. But what a stimulus to worship!! I trust you will enjoy them. Why not visit the Hubble site to see more - they are amazing and tell of the incredible Creator God we have as our Father!
Happy Christmas and may 2010 be a year full of joy and fruitfulness for each one of you.
