Rainbows

I was on my way to work. The blue sky was pretty enough to gaze upon after the morning rain but suddenly something even more beautiful caught my attention. It was a rainbow in the eastern sky. Loving on its beauty I wanted to get a good picture of it. As I drove down the road I finally found a place that would work.

As I sat in my car I tried to zoom in on the rainbow to get as close as my phone camera would allow me. Unfortunately when I did that my camera decided to act up on me making it impossible to take a picture. Over and over again I tried to get the camera to work. I even shut my phone off and turned it back on and was having difficulty.

In the midst of my frustration I noticed God was at work finishing the rainbow He had placed in the sky. The rainbow I had first spotted was only the bottom end of one that had no arch. As I was trying to get my camera to work God had colored in the rainbow I was looking at with brighter and sharper colors and He put an arch on it for me. As soon as that was done my camera was willing to cooperate with me and take a picture.

It was so awesome to see. I love rainbows, I always have. I even nicknamed my oldest granddaughter, "Rainbow." I did that because of the beautiful color she puts out and the fact that the Lord is watching over her as He promises to look at every rainbow in the sky. Who she is deep down inside of her is that pot of gold in the making at the end of the rainbow.

Just like the rainbow today in the sky the Lord is still working on her making her colors even brighter and the pot of gold in her heart even more of a treasure. Thus while grandma is scrambling to get her camera to work to take her picture and capture her life on earth God is still working on her, adding arches, color, and more gold.

As soon as I took the picture of the rainbow it faded into the sky so I got into my car and started toward work again. Halfway to work another rainbow appeared and this one was even brighter than the first. Stopping along side of the road I took more pictures as I praised the Lord for the painting in the sky He was showing me.

Just like the first rainbow the minute I took a picture the rainbow faded in the sky. I sure hope everyone was done looking at it, I know I could stare at them forever but I needed to continue on to work. As I drove closer to my work I thought to myself, "I bet I will see another rainbow before I get to work."

Guess what? I did. Just before getting to the building a third rainbow appeared and the end of it was right in the middle of the town where I work. Unable to stop to take more pictures I figured it was just as well because it would have faded away like the other two I just knew it. I wanted people to enjoy what I was enjoying.

Oh my, by the time I made it to work I was truly in tears from the worshipping of the Lord and the gratitude of the rainbows in the sky He had painted for me. The reminder to me telling me He was still working on my granddaughter made it all even more special.

I love you Jesus
I love you Marissa

They Call me,
