Pastor Cathy Nutting,
Pastor VMUMC
On cold, clear nights, I love looking up at stars twinkling in the dark sky, each one a tiny point of light, and yet all of them together lighting up the dark night. It's a thrill every time I see shooting stars. I feel like each one is a little gift from God, a reminder of the light that lives in my heart and guides my path in this world. I imagine the star that led those wise ones from the East must have been extraordinary, shining brilliantly.
