Time for Sunday go to meet’n with Rev. Dark Mawson. What do we have in common with the Heavens? Science says our body mass is made up of stardust. This dust created by the fusion of celestial furnaces from the far reaches of our universe and beyond provided us with the elements necessary for life such as oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. Born of gaseous dust clouds these stars lived a volatile existence, but their gentle reach warmed worlds unknown to us. Eventually they burned their last fuel, and surrendered to the natural order of things, spewing their bounty into deep space for us to inherit. Nothing lives forever, in their deaths we rejoice that distant stars contributed to creating life. How do we compare? We are born, we live in turmoil and warm the hearts of those we touch for as long as we can, some procreate, some help others along the way, eventually our time comes to an end, our body returns to the earth, our deeds live on and our spirit is remembered by those we have touched. It is not the length of one’s life that matters; it is what one does while here that measures all things. Time will reclaim us and again our bodies will become dust in the solar winds, we will be returned to the heavens, perhaps to start over again. The blessings we often fail to understand are; we are unique, we have a conscious mind, we think, we feel, we love, we interact, we can chose our destiny, and that’s a special gift that didn’t come from the stars. Remember energy once created is never lost; those who have moved on have instilled a little star dust in all things that they have touched. There are no thongs or bunny slippers in this week’s story, but even they must be made from the dust of stars. So pass the plate and fill it with warm memories and light for those who live in the shadow of loss, Amen.
