my care will cover you just like the moon
Five years ago I found myself in the midst of what was supposed to be the most amazing adventure I had ever been on, and I was completely miserable. The fact that I was down gave me all the more reason to kick myself because I was supposed to be having the time of my life. Truth be told, I was shaken to my core and pretty lost as to what I believed about the world. All the beliefs I inherited were torn away from me. In attempt to gain some peace, I went outside to stare at the night sky. As I was sitting outside it was cloudy and there was a patch of clouds backlit by the moon. A moment passed and moon broke through the clouds shining down relatively birght for the moon. That moment instilled a sense of peace that I was going to get through my situation and be better for it.
Since then, the moon serves as a peaceful reminder. It’s pretty appropriate too. The moon doesn’t really harm anything, it just serves as a little night light. No skin cancer, sun burn, or blindness to offer. So tonight when I heard my care will cover you just like the moon sung by a folk artist, I was reminded of my moment of spiritual assurance.
