So the other night I was shutting off the lights for bed and surprise! THere was my 9 year old behind me as perky as she was 2 HOURS previosly when she went to bed I might add...Befofe I could say anything she gleefully told me she had finally spotted the little dipper.  Now, I faced a choice here. Bedtimes have been a huge issue with this child the past year.  Should I stop and enjoy the moment or discipline her? I am so thankful that I realized that this moment was a chance to create a memory.

I took the opportunity and said, "Lets get our shoes and go see" She was ecstatic  and we held hands and looked for any other shapes we might be able to look up later.  I asked her why she saw the stars in the sky this particular night. We had recently oved her bed under her window.She said when she can't sleep she looks at the strs out of the window. It was really a beautiful moment. THanks Lord!
