Glad you made a day of it with the family. I'm sure the kids will remember it for years to come.
I didn't go out to view the eclipse here in Wisconsin (didn't have the dark glasses, for one thing). It would've been interesting as it was mostly sunny out, in spite of the forecast for storms. It did become quite dark for awhile as the eclipse took place, then lightened up afterwards, of course.
Okay, since you put it in a spiritual perspective, I will take the liberty of adding mine: The sun represents God. The moon which has no light of its own represents Satan - at his worst - when he tried to take over the throne of God (in other words, to replace God). As in the eclipse, he tries to blot out God and leave the earth in darkness, but the corona (crown) of Majesty is still present. The moon, eventually passes, defeated as it were, on its way, leaving the brilliant and glorious Sun to prevail.
