I am like a Star...


Jake and I sing this song everytime I am with him. He knows it really well. Yesterday I was trying to get him to take his nap, but I had to leave him for a minute to rock Sam, so I told him to lay on his bed and look at the stars on his wall and I'd be right back. I could hear him kind of humming while I was rocking Sam and when I went back into his room, he had taken his little microphone and was singing into it quietly

"I am like a star shining brightly..."
He finished the song and I layed down by him and told him how important it was for us all to be happy and do good things each day. He hugged me and said "I love you grama polly" I sighed with utter contentment and we took a little nap.

"People are like stars...we all have our own special light that shines from within. Sometimes we find our light to be dim and we struggle to shine, but that is when we need the light shed from the other stars to help us light our path once again. A true light that comes from within, from our divine Maker is so brilliant that it penetrates into the souls of the other stars onto which it shines, leaving it's impression for eternity.
Are you shining for someone today?"
