#610: Shining Star

What does 100 billion of anything look like?

Astronomers estimate that our Milky Way Galaxy holds around 100 billion stars. If you counted one star per second, it would take you over 3,000 years to count those stars.

That’s incredible!

And yet, God—the master designer of billions of galaxies—loves each person more than any of those stars.

So, the next time you see your son frustrated and hurting, wrap your arms around him and give him a giant hug. Remind him that he is of tremendous value to you AND to the Almighty God of the universe.

Trials and challenges are a natural part of life, but together, you and your son can bring them to God in prayer.
