~Rainbows

I love the way a rainbow appears after a storm. It somehow has a way of making you forget about all the fear of "what could've been" just a few minutes earlier.

Wouldn't it be great if rainbows appeared after a crisis occurs in our lives? Just for a brief moment it would be a great reminder that life will once again become bright and colorful. In reality, rainbows just don't appear to give us that symbol of hope.

I recall something inside of me refusing to give up when my husband told me he wasn't coming home. God surrounded me with all the love and care from my church family and people that refused to believe that he wouldn't return. We prayed, prayed, and prayed some more. Within 48 hours, he was home again. After our storm, the rainbow did appear I guess...when he walked through that door. To me, that was my rainbow of hope for our tomorrows back then.

It may not have been all bright and colorful in the sky, but hope was felt just the same. Here we are six years later and still together and in love. What the enemy meant for evil, God worked out for good. We have both changed for the better. We both had much work to do, and we did it...and continue to do it.

Staying In The Day with a reminder that rainbows do come in all shapes and sizes...after a storm!
