Burning Bright

"Mum, Mum!  Look!" exclaimed Joey as he peered out my window this morning.

Could it have snowed?  I thought, given that we are in for a cold period.  Or maybe there's been a heavy frost, which makes it look like snow has fallen? Or maybe it's just a beautiful sunrise? Though that won't happen for another ninety minutes...

"It's Jesus' star!!"

And right enough, there was a star, shining oh so bright right next to the moon.  Or maybe it was Venus?  Or maybe not, but the wonder and surety in my 5-year old boys voice was really, really lovely.

Taken half an hour later, and really not
doing the brightness justice!
