Just How Big Are You?

I'm hijacking these pictures & words from an email that has gone around the internet, in particular because it goes along with our CoOp lesson from Wednesday.

Here we are...

And here we are, with grander company...

Compared to the sun, we're a mere speck...

And beyond our sun...it's a big universe!

Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky. It's more than 1,000 light years away.

Now how big are you?

Humbling, isn't it?

And yet, God knows how many hairs are on your head,
and not even a single sparrow dies apart from his will (Mt 10:29-31)!

NOW how big are you?
